Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers gave a post-match interview with the club's official media

After the 4-1 preseason victory over Chelsea, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers gave a post-match interview with the club's official media.

Rodgers said, "I just told the players that all the work they have done and the way they represented the club here was outstanding, so I am very proud of that."

"But also on the pitch, our style of play, our commitment to work, and the intensity of the game were excellent. Big clubs don't want to lose matches, whether it's a preseason game or any other match."

"I think in terms of performance, we showed what a top team should display: team structure, talent, and effort, which gives us a great opportunity."

"Overall, I am very satisfied with the team's performance, and when the young players came on, there was no difference in the level of play. They pressed actively, put pressure on the opponents, and showed real strength when we had the ball."

"Wherever we go, our supporters are fantastic, they make a difference, and these fans have to wake up early to watch our games back home."

"So bringing the team here, allowing them to feel close to the team and watch the matches live, I think they will enjoy these three games."

"We are in a very good state now, and we will return safely to prepare for the opening match."

"We still have a week of work before we get there, but I think the preparations over the past 12 days have been as good as they could be."
