We kept foot on Gas.. Celts should do the same

La Dea gaffer knows what it's like to suffer Champs League beatings but urges Rodgers to never change side's style

- MICHAEL GANNON

ITALIAN master Gian Piero Gasperini reckons Brendan Rodgers is right to stick to his guns.

The Atalanta boss has ripped up the famous old Serie A defensive approach to turn his side into the most attacking team in Italy.

Gasperini is an admirer of the Rodgers philosophy as well- and he doesn't believe the Hoops gaffer will rip up his strategy on the back of the Borussia Dortmund bashing for this evening's Champions League clash.

The wily old coach is convinced Celtic will have learned from their Germany gubbing just like his men did from thumping from Premier League big guns like Liverpool and Man City.

But the 66-year-old, right, doesn't believe Rodgers should bin his beliefs.

The Europa League winner said: "Rodgers is a very attacking coach. If you're a team that wins a lot, you have to attack. They have to be balanced. In Italy, we say the best teams are the ones that have the best defence.
