Although Rodgers was pleased with his team’s performance and their ability to overcome a halftime deficit, the discussion shifted when he brought up the topic of media stories that surrounded his team.
Rodgers, who has expressed worries in the past about what he believes to be a scripted narrative being written about Celtic’s will and aspirations in the title fight, reaffirmed his confidence in the team’s talents.
“I’m thrilled for the players because, as I’ve mentioned, a story has been written about this group, so we will write our own story,” he remarked.
But when BBC reporter Jane Lewis prodded Rodgers for more information on his remarks on the Celtic story, the mood stiffened.Rodgers abruptly ended the questioning session with a curt “No, no,” making it obvious that he was unwilling to get into specifics. You are fully aware of what I mean. No.
Only because Lewis persisted in asking questions did Rogers abruptly leave the conversation. “All right, are we done now? He concluded the conversation and departed the interview with, “Well done, good girl, cheers.”
