After Nicolas Kuhn’s outstanding performance in the weekend’s victory over Livingston, Brendan Rodgers has heaped praise on the winger. The German winger cost £2.5 million to sign from Rapid Vienna, and even though he tied the score at Pittodrie, he didn’t seem to be fitting in.
The midfielder was brought in over the Austrian winter break and immediately placed in the starting lineup, where he is anticipated to perform well as Celtic looks to win the Scottish Cup and battle with Rangers for the championship.
After a challenging beginning, Rodgers acknowledged that he was happy with the German’s development since joining the team, as reported by STV.
“To be fair to him, I believe we have already discussed the fact that if someone wasn’t working with him every day and noticed the change, he was probably on vacation when he initially arrived and claimed to have lost seven kg.
“Even at that small size, you can envision that.” I believe he realized he had lost both his strength and his ability to sprint after dropping more than a stone. Thus, the goal has been to strengthen him. He feels so good now, I think.
He still has some tasks to complete. However, I believe you observed a far more aggressive (approach) in his one-on-one play, where he took opponents on and found the pass to allow Daizen to score. Indeed, that is more in line with our preferences.
It’s merely adjustment. He will undoubtedly advance in due course, but that was excellent.
He is traveling to a nation where high expectations and intensity are present. Finding your rhythm after settling into that is the key. Some people are instant experts. For some people, it requires some time.
He was considerably more aggressive on Sunday, piercing much more with his passes and one-on-ones. He posed a serious risk to us.
Kuhn intends to build on his recent achievements and aim to achieve weekly performance comparable to that of Livi. Yang, 24, will most likely find himself on the team sheet as he tries to impress the boss because he is suspended this coming weekend.
