Godwin ObajeCeltic’s Dominance: A Remarkable Achievement
Celtic’s impending title win has sparked a mix of reactions, with some attempting to undermine the team’s achievements. However, former Celtic player Chris Sutton believes that such criticism is “nonsensical.” “Brendan Rodgers and his players have been excellent for the majority of the season, and any bid to decry or undermine their work is just nonsensical,” Sutton writes.
A Commanding Performance
Sutton acknowledges that the run-in has lacked excitement and intrigue, but emphasizes that the players and management are about to complete their mission. “Winning any title is a huge achievement, and while Rangers failed to make a proper battle of it, Rodgers’ team have been outstanding,” he says.
Admiration for the Squad
Sutton expresses admiration for the relentless nature of the current Celtic squad, highlighting their ability to raise their game when it matters most. “It takes a mindset, a work-ethic, a mentality, and an ability to raise your game in the way that Rodgers’ team has done,” he notes.
Key Period of Excellence
Sutton points to the team’s impressive performance in the first half of the season, where they won 16 out of 18 matches, drawing the other two. “Not a single defeat,” he emphasizes. “The football they played in that first half of the campaign was sensational. Players such as Nicolas Kuhn and Daizen Maeda were simply brilliant, and the scoring of 52 goals in those opening 18 matches of the Premiership tell you everything you need to know.”
Consistency and Mentality
Sutton attributes Celtic’s success to their consistency of performance and mentality. “When it has really counted this season, Celtic have found the way to deliver and come through,” he says. “It’s been like that for a little while now.”
Credit to Rodgers
Sutton praises Brendan Rodgers for his work in getting the team to play in a certain way, particularly in the first half of the season. “The work Rodgers did last summer to get the unit playing in the way they did through the first-half of this season is deserving of massive credit,” he says.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Sutton believes that Celtic’s title win is a remarkable achievement, and one that should be cherished by the team and its fans. “Regardless of what any detractors may say, it’s been another terrific effort, and one for them all to cherish,” he writes. As Celtic prepares to seal their title win, Sutton’s words serve as a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication.
