Celtic’s Champions League Performance Boosted by ‘Attention to Detail,’ Says Carter-Vickers

Celtic’s centre-back, Cameron Carter-Vickers, states that the team’s improved performance in the Champions League is a result of increasing their “concentration and attention to detail.” Carter-Vickers was in the starting lineup for Celtic’s notable victory against RB Leipzig on Tuesday. Following a humbling 7-1 loss in Dortmund, Brendan Rodgers’ squad has demonstrated resilience, securing a determined draw against Atalanta and an impressive comeback victory over RB Leipzig. The United States defender, Carter-Vickers, acknowledged that the seven-goal defeat in Germany last month was a challenging experience, but he believes the team is now benefiting from refining their strategy for European competitions. “It’s our third year now in the Champions League, throughout that time we’ve grown in belief and confidence,” he said. “[Dortmund] was tough, but after that we’ve upped our level of concentration and attention to detail and that’s shown in the last two games.” Regarding Tuesday’s win against Leipzig, Carter-Vickers added: “We really wanted to put in a performance. It was a really special night.” “As players we’re excited but know [qualification] isn’t done yet. We showed the levels we can reach, if we can continually do that we’ll be all right.”
