Martin O’Neill’s 1,000th match as a manager comes with Celtic on a mission to the Europa League

In the press conference, Martin O’Neill left great expectations for the clash between Celtic vs Stuttgart for the UEFA Europa League, seeking to qualify The Hoops to the round of 16 of the competition.

In a fascinating statistic, it was revealed that it will be the 1,000th match managed as a coach, wanting this statistic to be remembered as a historic milestone that was obtained with victory.

Martin O’Neill has an exciting test in his project with Celtic

In the recent press conference prior to the match against Stuttgart, the Hoops coach made it clear that he has an important test, especially because the match starts at Celtic Park, where they must take an advantage to have calm for the entire tie.

“This is an important test for us tomorrow. In the past I said we went to Feyenoord and got a great result there, and then we fought with 10 men for about 60 minutes in the match against Bologna. I did not want those games not to count for something, so we beat Utrecht and now we are here, so we might as well go for it.”

A head-to-head challenge arrives that he knows he needs to obtain qualification because his project warrants it, and although the Germans come in a positive moment in the Bundesliga, Celtic are not far behind.

“We have taken a look at them and they are strong, physical and have many good players, so they will be difficult games for us, but as long as we are there, we are going for it. We know it is going to be a difficult two-legged match.”

The fans will accompany Celtic, but the players must respond in the best way in a match where fear cannot exist, only desire and ambition.
