We already covered Brendan Rodgers’ remarks regarding Liel Abada’s status at Celtic as the Israeli winger gets closer to leaving the team and maybe joining the Major League Soccer in the United States, where the transfer window is still open. Naturally, the state of Israel receives the majority of its financial support from the US government.
When the Celtic manager addressed the print media, he refrained from stating that Liel Abada had played his final game for the team, but he also left things open. According to the Glasgow Times, the Celtic manager stated, “I don’t think that far ahead.” “He’s a very, very important player, so in my job, in my management style and in my working relationships with players, I have always tried to do everything I can and I will continue to do everything I can to get him on the pitch for Celtic.
“I will always have that empathy and support for a player, and if that’s just not enough, then you know. However, there may be a day in the future when that might not be the case. I’ve done similar things in the past, so I’ll support whoever it is and basically take it from there.
“I see him as a 22-year-old. My sons are older than he is. As a result, I regard him as a son rather than just a team member or employee of the organisation. What would I want someone to do for my son in such circumstance, both abroad and at difficult times?
But I’m not the only one. Everyone here is really supportive of him. It’s unfortunate that things have come to this point, but let’s try to turn things around. Despite being a really kind boy, he’s somewhat an insular boy. It’s unfortunate that this scenario has developed despite neither his nor Celtic’s fault.
I’m not alone, though. He has a lot of support from everyone here. Although it’s regrettable that we’ve reached this stage, let’s attempt to change the situation. He’s a really kind boy, but he’s a bit of an insular boy. It’s regrettable that this situation has arisen even though neither he nor Celtic are at blame.
However, we have been extremely open and honest in our communication, so we will just evaluate that as we go. He and I have spoken frequently. He did return to Israel for a brief period of time, and once more, we would evaluate that if that was his desire. However, the Celtic boss continued, “I think he’s keen just to keep working and staying fit and ready, and if there’s a change, then you can look at that.”
Abada was obviously not paying attention to his football during the encounter at Easter Road, therefore Rodgers disclosed that the decision to remove him from the match-day squads was made jointly by the player and himself. We were both involved. It wasn’t limited to me. In other instances, I’ve advised players to take care of themselves and make sure their mental health is in order. However, it was both of us with Liel.
Regular communication has taken place, and I’ve made an effort to read it. It is vital to have the right attitude and approach, particularly while representing a large club with high standards. We’ve examined it jointly in an effort to determine the best course of action. The main thing is that I have empathy for other people. Because I care for them, I can take care of them. That stems from my childhood. My actual concern is for individuals, no matter what you relate it to.
“It is not appropriate to ignore something like this in a situation like this.”
