Marijampolė is not easy for anyone. This was confirmed by the famous Glasgow "Celtic" club. The champions of Scotland only managed to bring home a 1:1 draw from the "Arvi" stadium.
The result was not very satisfying for "Celtic" team strategist Brendan Rodgers, who wants to see his team playing much better.
"We have to be much better than we were. I think we worked hard in training. The start of the match was very good for us.
Although we started perfectly, we immediately deviated slightly from our plan, ran too much, blocked each other's zones. We did not play at the pace and intensity we wanted. We gifted them a goal, which is really annoying. We didn't give them many chances, but we didn't defend well in a standard situation.
However, we scored a goal away from home and next week we return home to finish the job. I always look at how we performed at that level and looking now - it's not what we wanted," - B. Rodgers said after the match.
