Stale warns: He is lethal

Stale Solbakken feel well-prepared for what awaits in the next two matches against the scottish champions, Celtic. A hard fighting british crew, where there is also space for a few individualists.

I am the coach have certainly been impressed by what he's seen from the Celtics the French top scorer, 22-year-old Odsonne Edouard. The attacker, who has delivered 20 hits in the league and four in Europe this season, is a kind of enmandshær.

Remember, you can follow the match live on the dawn.dk at 19...

- Odsonne Edouard will be the best individual player we have met so far in the season. He has really impressed me, because he is a striker who has the entire package: He is physically strong, he is fast and so scores many goals.

- at the same time, he is the type who can make the extra stuff, so he alone can determine the matches. It is clear that we spend a little extra time on him, because he is as dangerous a striker, says Stale Solbakken on the watertight function of the dangerous frenchman.

FC Copenhagen have seen Celtic several times live the last time. Not, however, in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Aberdeen. Stale Solbakken feel well-prepared for what awaits.

- Celtic has a strong collective, where players run a lot for each other. And it takes place in the high uk pace. The two gruppesejre over Lazio evidence, that there is the international cut of the scots, believes Stale Solbakken.

Celtic switched in January from the 4-2-3-1 system to 3-5-2. And it has happened with great success. Since transition the team has retrieved seven victories in a row. In fact, the nine most recent league games won.

Stale Solbakken was disappointed after forårspremieren and 0-1 slump against Esbjerg. It was a defeat that gave more questions than answers.

- We have a good base game, but we miss gennembrudsstyrke. The last care is for the poor. And then we need to be sharper in the two fields. There is no room to make stupid defensive errors, as we saw against Esbjerg.

- But we have before shown, we can heave ourselves up for the big games. We know that Celtic have a higher rate in the body than us. But we lose rare home games and has defeated many good teams in the Park, where it is 50-50.

- I will be disappointed if we are not going to dominate the fight in the periods. We must have our moments in the showdown. For us, it is absolutely crucial to the fight live, when we go to Scotland next week.

- 0-0 will be a good result, says Stale Solbakken, who already has written off Viktor Fischer for the second leg next week.

the FCK is only one time passed on from the knockout phase in the spring. It was in 2017, when Ludogorets were defeated. Ago smoke the FCK out to Ajax.

- For our self-perception means a lot, if we can move on. We can well defeating Celtic over two matches. But it requires that we are completely on top in both matches, he believes.
