Harry Kewell believes Ange Postecoglou is well on his way to being recognised as one of European football’s top managers as he prepares for the UEFA Champions League.
Harry Kewell believes Ange Postecoglou is well on his way to being recognised as one of European football’s top managers, tipping the former Socceroos boss’ ultra-aggressive style will make Celtic a difficult challenge for any team they face in the UEFA Champions League.
Like almost everyone who comes into Postecoglou’s orbit, Kewell is completely enamoured by a man he described as a true “master” of his craft. “The one thing he does paint is the clearest pictures. You would have to be silly not to understand it, because he picks out everything and he will show you, and then you can’t argue with it, because it’s there: it’s in black and white, plus it’s in colour, plus it’s on video, plus it’s on the pitch. It is as clear as day when it comes to the messages. And I think that’s why the players love it.
“He’s probably Australia’s greatest coach. And now, he’s starting to push up to be one of the greats of the European game. The next frontier for Celtic is the Champions League, which Kewell noted has been recently dominated by disciplined counter-attacking teams – not ones who prize possession nearly as much as Postecoglou’s ball-hungry Celtic.“But then again, if you train a certain way, and then you came up against a [bigger] team, and you completely changed your philosophy and ideas, it’s going to throw a lot of people off,” Kewell said.
