Young Boys manager Gerardo Seoane has previewed this evening’s Europa League clash against Rangers, as quoted by the Glasgow Evening Times.
The Gers travel to Switzerland on the back of a 1-0 win over Feyenoord at Ibrox, while Young Boys lost their group opener away to Porto.
Young Boys boss wants Rangers out of comfort zone
Seoane was complimentary about the Gers but is keen to make things difficult for them on the road.
“I realise that Rangers play very well on the counter-attack”, said the opposition manager, as quoted by the Glasgow Evening Times. “Young Boys will have to keep the ball well and not give the Rangers strikers the opportunity to counter-attack as fast as they can. Of course we have other plans of how we will play but I’m not going to reveal everything.”
“I was impressed in the Feyenoord game by both teams, Rangers and Feyenoord. I saw high intensity, a lot of tackling but it will be different because Rangers are playing away.
“I want Rangers to feel this. We have to play our game. We would like Rangers not to be able to play their game. This will be important.”
Verdict
Rangers’ impressive victory on Matchday One will have gone some way to enhancing their reputation amongst the other teams in Group G.
Having seen that team display and the performances of individuals like Alfredo Morelos, it would be naive to continue to write this team off.
There’s no doubt this will be a step up on the road, though.
Without the Ibrox atmosphere, or, indeed, any supporters at all to rally the troops, Stevie G and his players need to go this one alone.
Are they still capable of getting a result, though? Absolutely.
