Massimo Donati has suggested that Celtic are defensively poor and unorganised ahead of Lazio’s trip to Parkhead, and his comments are certainly confusing.
According to Sport Witness, Donati spoke to Italian outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi about Celtic’s strengths and weaknesses are ahead of the crucial Europa League group stage tie on Thursday.
Edouard is really very good, he has great shots. Besides him I would say Forrest, an interesting attacker. Weakness is certainly the defence and the organisation. Here we need to improve. If you lose individual battles with them, you will be very disadvantaged.
READ CELTIC VERDICT
While Donati clearly recognises the threat of Eddy and Forrest, his comments about Celtic’s poor defensive organisation are confusing.
The Hoops currently have the second-best defensive record in the league and have kept nine clean sheets in all competitions this season.
Furthermore, only two teams have managed to score two or more goals against Celtic this season; Motherwell following their late consolation in the 5-2 win for the Hoops, and the infamous defeat to Cluj in the Champions League.
This emphasises how compact Celtic have been throughout this season, with the likes of Hatem Abd Elhamed, Kristoffer Ajer, Christopher Jullien and Boli Bolingoli forming a strong partnership at the back.
