‘We have to embrace great atmosphere’ – Rose

Must read

“The boys are very aware of it, you can feel it in the dressing room.”

RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose says his side are incredibly aware their current tally in the Champions League (zero points) is nowhere near where it needs to be and they must soon start picking up points.

The German side have had three tough games to kick-start the new format of the competition against Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Juventus and have suffered three defeats.

“We know what we have until now is not enough and we need to start getting points some day,” Rose said.

“Of course it’s a very important match. Matchday one was like that, match day five and six will be like that.

“We are not talking too much about the points. Everyone is aware of the situation, the boys are very aware of it, you can feel it in the dressing room.”

Rose has enjoyed success at Celtic Park and his going for his hat-trick of wins in Glasgow’s East End.

“The fans mean you need to be ready if you want to win here,” he said. “It will be a great atmosphere and we have to use it because we like to play in these kinds of stadiums.

“We will have to defend all they give us to defend as well. But I’m sure we’ll get our chances in possession and transition and when we do we have to take these chances.

“I always like coming here, I like the history of the club, I appreciate fan culture a lot.

“I remember my first match here with Salzburg in the Europa League very well, we played very well and the supporters accepted and honoured the result. I actually had some contact with a few supporters, they offered me a scarf. This creates a connection, and I also like their manager.”
