Alexandro Bernabei reveals the Celtic quality he ‘really lacked’ as one Parkhead factor catches attention
Alexandro Bernabei says the language barrier was a big challenge during his time at Celtic.
The Argentine left-back has departed the Premiership club on loan for the rest of the year, having moved to Glasgow from Lanus in his homeland during 2022. He is now hoping for regular minutes in Brazil with Internacional.
Greg Taylor was the number one at left-back during Ange Postecoglou’s era and that hasn’t changed with Brendan Rodgers’ second coming, leading to Bernabei finding games hard to come by. Now explaining his move back to South America at his introductory press conference, the 23-year-old insists language issues were a factor in his time at Celtic. And the style of Scottish football was a change too. He said: “What did I learn in Europe?
“The constancy. Many things in the constant work of every day, of being outside and wanting to earn a place among the 11 or 18 who were (related). Then, the language, above all, and order, which I felt I really lacked and I believe that, here, it will help me.
“I don’t think he was away” – Peter Grant Not Buying Theories About Kyogo’s Form
Former Celtic midfielder Peter Grant doesn’t think that Hoops striker Kyogo Furuhashi has ever dropped off amid recent claims that he is back to his best.
The frontman has two goals in his last two games, sparking many fans to believe that he has now returned to the dazzling form everyone knows he can hit.
Kyogo revealed on Monday morning that he isn’t afraid of failure amid his lack of inclusion in the recent Japan squad for the upcoming international break.
The fact that he had bagged just two goals in 2024 up until last weekend’s game against Livingston in the Scottish Cup contributed towards this and fairly led many to think he was not his usual self, but Grant disagrees.
He believes that the Japanese hitman is constantly lively and that a lack of service has been a key factor in his barren spell: “You were asking me earlier on about Kyogo being back, I don’t think he was away”, he said (Go Radio Football Show).
“If you put balls in the box, that guy will score goals.
“You have to service him, it’s ironic, the service he put in at the start of the second half was for Kuhn’s goal.
“The amount of times Kyogo is in that position for an early ball – that’s why I keep saying about putting the crosses in.
“It’s common sense for me. If you put the balls in, these guys have got the quality to finish and Kyogo proved that at the weekend.”
There has been a noticeable change in Celtic’s attacking play over the past few weeks. The Hoops look much more lively in forward areas, whipping balls into the box and registering several shots on goal.
Such trends must continue if silverware is to be secured come the end of May.
