Ange Postecoglou has turned Celtic into a high-pressing, attacking machine since taking over, leading them to a Scottish Premiership title in 2021/22 and the riches of the Champions League.
A question we get asked often at Tifo is, how has Ange Postecoglou done this, and how has he got Celtic playing such entertaining football? JJ Bull answers those questions.

Spurs fan checking in for some Ange tactics, gotta say, JJ’s presentation ability has drastically improved in the last year, nice job JJ!
He will make spurs lethal
@@harrisonoloo2342 I hope so! Seems like he’s had success everywhere he’s been so far. 🤞🏼
@@harrisonoloo2342 we are in a mess with some of the worlds best players the best ground in the world and training ground if he can fix this he is truly a great coach make no mistake this is a huge task
It'll be a lot of fun to watch I guarantee you that.
actually! noticed the same
Ange has been a consistently fantastic coach that has succeeded everywhere he's been its so good to finally have him get the recognition he deserves
Honestly, it's pretty clear he's gonna make a move to a huge club in the next couple of years, so we might as well enjoy it while we can.
@@ssmroxbiatch I hope so. You guys are killing it now. I knew he would be good in time but he has sorted out an absolute mess at warp speed
@@ssmroxbiatch Celtic are huge
@@lloydh6300 I'm a Celtic fan. Of course they're a big club but the Scottish league isn't a destination league and ultimately Celtic not a destination club for elite managers. He'll leave at some point, I just hope he stays for a while.
@@ssmroxbiatch I hope he stays for at least 4 seasons
@1:27 Ange coached like this long before Japan. When he was Coach of Brisbane Roar, they used to call his side Roarcelona as he played a high press and an incredible short sharp passing game.
As an Adelaide fan, I still get nightmares from angeball. I remember Brisbane thrashing us 7-1.
+ I don't think Yokohama F. Marinos will be directly affected by Man City coaching-wise tbh, that's a bit of a stretch
Sitting at the Cove and yelling abuse at Berisha while he bags doubles and linking with Thomas Broich. 🥶.
@@robbiebalboa wasn't Berisha a a C*&t, Broiche was in a class of his own though.
@Your Mum Barcebane 😁
As an aussie, its always good to see how much praise he's getting
He's brilliant, we want him to stay at celtic forever lol
@@marks4820 such a shame cause my dream is he comes back to the national team but it’ll never happen. Maybe future Everton job and gets Tim Cahill as assistant to get the Australia duo going
@@aidanraj306 Yeah his career would have to take a dramatic u-turn for him to coach the Aussie team again. We look absolutely hopeless right now!
he's 10/10
He deserves it mate. Class man, and he is loved here
I'm a simple man. I see Ange and I click.
If you see ange and click you are a simple man !
JJ, can you please do a video on Bodo Glimt. Only 2 teams have really battered Celtic so far this year. One was Bayer Leverkusen, which makes sense as they have some amazing players. The other was Bodo Glimt. In a way that was more disappointing as I actually thought we had better players than them and they won due to superior tactics. They also famously battered Mourinho's Roma. What are they doing right?
If I’m being honest, bodo/glimt were harder opponents than Leverkusen, Though we got beat 4-0 at home we were actually in the game and had opportunities, the score line was very inflated. Bodo actually kept us to very little opportunities
Bodo simply played counter-attacks around the flanks of the celtic defence, which was always going to happen imo. The Bodo coach said he watched Celtic videos and looked for weaknesses. Celtic's main weakness was the inability of the wide defenders to cover their positions and the low defensive running capability of the midfield and overall physical presence. It was sucker punch stuff. Tactics customised to expose the opponent's weak points and negate their strengths. I think there is still a weakness especially on the left and midfield. I rate recruitment as Ange's greatest success.
In fairness Leverkusen battered us about a month into the season - we played them in Germany only a month later but the time on the training pitch and improvement in performance was actually referenced BEFORE the game by the Bayer manager and indeed we played very well losing by a goal but leading until relatively late on. Followed that up with a win against Real Betis at Celtic Park.
Bodo Glimt on however, another level. A machine. Quite incredible to watch honestly. I would compare them to Red Bull Salzburg who had a similar kind of almost mechanical synergy although the style itself is of course very different.
Formation disipline is their key
They play like there all one brain
Spurs fan me watching this after nagelsman, ruben amirom, luis enrique, and arne slots tactics 🥲🤣
Heya, sorry for the mistake in the 20/21 SPFL Table, here is the correct final top 6 after the split:

It's a bit strange seeing an Aussie. Manager getting such praise, but we all knew Ange had what it takes to succeed in Europe, it's been fantastic to see.I have really enjoyed following Celtics fortunes this year, especially as the fans were crying out for change. It's about the only feel good story around at the moment, thank god.Take it easy everyone,g'day from Melbourne. ☮️ Peace.
Yesssss!!! As an Aussie, I love seeing Ange get some well deserved recognition! Thanks for the upload Tifo!
As a fan of the J League the football Ange played at the Marinos was some of the most enjoyable entertaining football i've seen in years. What i've seen at celtic so far is just the same but is just one or two players short of his system being fully functional. Hopefully they continue to back him in the summer.
I am certainly no a Celtic fan however I must say I massively respect Ange! The guy is one of the best managers in the entire game (not over exaggerating). It's like he is playing football manager or fifa career mode IRL! Plus he is a really humble decent fella from down under. Love how he holds himself. Legend mate. Also can we just all admit how much more entertaining the league is to actually have a title race. Heart in mouth stuff and may the best team win!
Good on ya mate
Lay off the gear m8. He's been pumped in Europe something awful. Beat a very poor Rangers side infront of a stadium with no opposition fans and that's his greatest achievement so far this season. Celtic are not playing well the league is pathetic and rangers are making celtic look much better than they are.
@@mickporter1488 rangers beat dortmund, still have that opinion after todays game? pop a red nose and a wig on cause youre a clown
@@mickporter1488 lol
@@mickporter1488 This didn't age well
Could you make a video on bodø/glimt and kjetil knutsen and their rise from a norwegian jo-jo club to two times norwegian champions and battering roma and celtic?
Think we would do a lot a better against bodo now
FINALLY. I’ve been waiting ages to see JJ cover Ange’s Celtic. Love to see him doing what he’s doing as an Aussie
You ultimately have to respect the work that Postecoglu has done since coming to Scotland. Most including myself, expected him to need a solid year or two to rebuild his team but he has made remarkable strides. His Japanese signings have been especially good.
Now that we've had Celtic under their new manager, how about Rangers under theirs, Giovanni Van Bronckhorst? Especially analysis on how he has navigated Europe so well.
Not just gelling more under Big Ange, but they’re so much more resilient. Three last minute winners this year. Was definitely not the case last season. It’s been a blast.
come on ange COYS
Ange gave us the best 2 seasons we've ever seen in the A-League, going a whole season unbeaten. As a Brisbane Roar fan, i'm so happy to see him bossing with Celtic 10 years on.
Great video JJ, would love to see more Celtic & Ange content now and again 👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀
My prayers have been answered for a tifo video on Celtic🙌🙌
Pretty good - one detail you left out - wingers on the far side always get into the 6 yard box at the back post, to add numbers and get on the end of crosses. The 3rd goal against rangers from Abada illustrates this
An interesting thing is the whole time Ange was national team coach for Australia, opposition teams learned that the best counter was diagonal long balls in behind, exposing the wide fullbacks. This is still the case but I don’t see many teams doing it in domestic competitions.
Giovanni aggressively taking notes right now
He's taking note how much debt rangers fc are in
been waiting for this, good stuff tifo irl!
oi, oi, oi
Would love more Celtic content - perhaps a video on their struggles in Europe and how they might be improved on in the future?
Great recommendation
Ange has been bang average. The best team he has beat this season is a piss poor Rangers infront of a full house with no opposition fans he's hardly done a Jose at Porto. 27 goals conceded in Europe in one campaign lol. Angeball only works against diddies in the SPL.
@@mickporter1488 Respectfully, the data simply doesn't support that notion. I agree that Ange's impact hasn't been as massive as Jose at Porto all those years ago. Celtic fans are very familiar with Mourinho's rise given we were the first wrung on the ladder of his ascent in the UEFA Cup in 2003, but a) that's a pretty lofty bar, and certainly not one you have to meet to be considered successful and b) no one else is making that comparison.
Being more realistic, if we're looking at serious, steady improvement over several seasons, Celtic's fortunes will almost certainly continue to improve under this manager and within this system. He's gotten to this point even after being left with a threadbare team in utter dissaray last summer, and when given the oppotunity to recruit more of the players he wants, and time to further bed in his methods, it'll be exciting to see what happens both in Scotland and Europe.
I am ofc biased, but I suspect when Celtic and Rangers play again on Sunday at Ibrox it will be a competitive match (especially given what Rangers are showing in Europe) but I still fancy Celtic's chances. In any case, enjoying the race this year, long may Scottish football remain this exciting 😁
@@mickporter1488 You can add an away win at Ibrox.
Enjoyed your analysis
Straight forward and concise
Ange is brilliant!
As a Aussie i am so proud of him and is one of the reasons that I am proud to be Australian unlike our national team!!!
Also Marcelo Biellsa in for Australia!!!
I would love to see Bielsa coach Australia, I think he would fit the team, but the latest news is he's headed for Bolivia.
Definitely interesting and novel to see an Aussie do well managing in the UK, not too many around, let alone being successful and getting plaudits (Anthony Limbrick at TNS is literally the only other Aussie I can think of, and the Welsh league is far lower quality than the Scottish)
Yeah but Limbrick has come out of nowhere,never heard of him till this last year, his record is great,so I think he still deserves praise. Funny how TNS wear the same colours as Celtic. Take it easy mate.
A kangaroo could do well at Celtic
This is the perfect background noise with the soft jazz, Scottish tones and football vibes while I work from home and weep at the state of my inbox
Great video as always JJ. This makes me wonder what Ange would have done with the Golden Generation of 2006…nowadays Australia is about to fail to qualify 🤦
Yaaaaas JJ talking about the Bhoys, oh how I’ve waited for this
Excellent work from Jon this, I would love see an episode of the podcast with JJ and Jon talking about Celtic and the Scottish league, Aberdeen are an interesting club too
Did similar with Australia and previous Aussie teams too.
More importantly... how do I set it up in Football Manager?
1:46 Ange has played this way, and only this way for a long time.
Exactly! Ange's Roar played in just the same way. Even his U21 Australian side, he tried to do the same thing.
Thanks for that mate. Big Ange is a breath of fresh air in Scottish football..
Hi love the videos! What is the application you use to breakdown the formations?
Great video, love seeing Scotland get the love… even if it is for old firm teams
Now I am interested in Celtic. Very moch interested⚽⚽👌
And finally the video I've been waiting for 💚
The Goat 🇦🇺
Great video folks. The SPL was wound up in 2013 though so I’d update that hashtag.
I would dispute that Abada's particularly good 1v1 - mostly he excels at finding space centrally to put away chances - but otherwise this seems spot on
My manager. Welcome to Tottenham Hotspur.
you should do a video on what positions score more goals as a % since the lack of conventional strikers in top premier league teams
Hi jj, could you explain me what happend to caglar soyuncu since He moved from Freiburg to leicester it seemed like He was doing the steps to becoming a really great defender I watched a couple of games with the turkish national Team also and He was so good ( in EM Qualifikation) like he was cpnstantly moving imagine him receiving or recovering the Ball making a good pass and immiadately searching for free space plus he was good at like everything long balls one on ones in the air and now He seems to have a Bad time in the pl and in the national Team since quite a while.
My question is is it just a Bad time or was He never going to be one of the better defenders in the Premier League in the first way?
av got ma eye on you ange postecoglu
I would love a follow up video to this one of Ange’s second season and how it has compared 😎🏆💚🍀
I'm also amazed with the transfer action. 30mil approx went out, they spent roughly the same amount and are a much better team. For what they got for Edouard they turned that into Maeda, Kyogo, Giakoumakis, Jota and Abada who have contributed a total of 58 goals and 27 assists so far
JJ's presenting has improved a crazy amount since this video, as has the whole production.
Hope he can replicate at Spurs! COYS!
In Ange We Trust 🍀💚
Hello, Tifo. Like the videos, I wonder if you could do more videos like these but from the defensive point of view. 👍🏼
Enjoyed that - Jota signed in the summer not winter just to let you know.
Ange Postecoglu will manage the World XI when we take on the Martians.
superbly explained
Hey Tifo, do you think there is a rising trend in the one inverted fullback (joins with 2 centre back to form a back 3 when the other one bombing forward) type of play and what is so good about it? Since it's practically used by Guardiola (K Walker, Ake), Arteta (Tomiyasu) and now Ange
And Xavi (Alba, Araujo)
Ange has been doing this for at least 15 years.
Thanks for thism
I never thought I’d see this back when I first fell in love with Ange in 2011
Funnily enough this is also why they do worse in Europe than rangers as celtic playing a high line would get caught out more by the better teams where rangers are a more counter attacking team so are fine dropping off the ball.
Still 2/3 players short of quality to complete the team then watch him take on European teams! 😉
Jota was signed in the summer window, not the winter one. He joined on September 1, not January 1.
Kyogo plays as a central striker, not a left winger. He played there a few times whilst edouard was still at the club doing nothing.
Great video but jota wasn’t signed in January
please make a video on ange's Tottenham
Please do a bodo/glimt tactical analysis!
Yes please. From game descriptions it sounded like Bodo played very similar way to Angeball but just better executed.
Best football channel on YT
Should check out his Brisbane Roar side. Some of the best football you've ever seen
Love the production of these videos, the backing track is a lovely addition!
Ball possesion coach Respect
Background music killing it
that was really interesting, thank you, i too live watching Celtic under Ange 🇦🇺✌🏻. Exciting stuff
The moment he named to be manager I read a lot of hate and pessimist comment.. Never wonder he being tremendously good
Ange will be in the Prem in the few years guaranteed
United manager - it is written in the stars
@@CopytradersClub no doubt about it. but which one. leeds , newcastle, or manchester ;)
@@mahaishraja5449 There’s only 1 👹
… and no, not West Ham!
I am a Brighton fan I think that in the case that Graham Potter departs the Amex that I think the replacement should be
Mr Ange Postecolglu.
(Also can we get a video on the best young talent in the J league 1/2)
As a Celtic fan i can tell you that is never going to happen 😂
@@TheKerrby As an Ange fan (from Sydney) (mate), I can tell you that is never going to happen. ;-)
Can’t wait to see Celtic in the champions league! This could be their year. This year was all about building the team and it’s just happened to be enough for domestic dominance over rangers and the rest. 2022/23 will be all about Europe for Celtic and Ange. If rangers can beat dortmund it’s gonna be great to see Scottish football back and flying!
Ang is killing it at the moment I can see him coaching in the Premier League possibly a team like Brighton
God I hope not.
Ange better than that..
Coming back to this video, because maybe and I said, maybe, Ange will accept be the next Spurs managers
Great intelligent analysis. As a Gers supporter we need a snakes and ladder board. All dicey! Do one on the Rangers failings.
Took 8:40 for this guy to mention Callum McGregor with “McGregor’s still there”.
Not only is McGregor still there but is being utilised as a Deep Lying Playmaker he is key to “Angeball” in the quick transition from Defence to Attack with his ability to both find space where there is none and find an effective forward pass generally to the best option before teams can get set.
You might want to research his numbers and stats operating as a Regista at Celtic whilst obviously LEADING THE SIDE by example as Captain.
His influence under Postecoglou’s system is such that Scott Brown hasn’t been missed this Season.
As for McGregor doing a slightly different role?
Well he isn’t he was deployed as a Regista under Neil Lennon also with the alteration being he’s no longer in a double pivot alongside Brown but operating as the single pivot behind a double screen of two attack minded Midfielders .
May I point you towards the two excellent videos done previously on this channel on primarily Pirlo ,Busquets and the role of the Regista in the modern game.
Two outstanding videos on the role McGregor plays at Celtic 👍🏼
As he’s done for the vast majority of games in the past 3 years at Celtic.
He’s crucial to the team. Best midfielder in the league.
Thumbnail JJ looks like he's about to keel over.
Not much was known in Scotland about the guy before he arrived, in fact there was a collective shrug and a bit of anger from some fans. The guy's showed his class though and really turned them around as they had been outclassed by Gerrard and Rangers.
While Gerrard did have an admirable knack for winning old firm matches even when Celtic were otherwise unassailable, it did take a complete internal collapse at Parkhead before Rangers could win the league. Celtic were very much thumped by Rangers last season, but it might be more accurate to say this was due to a huge deterioration in form at Celtic rather than a massive increase in quality at Rangers. As has been seen this year, once Celtic got back up to form everything evened out again 😊
@@liammccabe05 I'll take the middle ground with this one being a neutral 😊. Celtic were in bad shape under Lennon, surprised me as they'd a lot of success and brilliant European nights with him before, and Gerrard made Rangers solid, bought well, were attacking and took full advantage of Celtics slump. I've just read that back... I'm in complete agreement with ye actually 😁
@@zakoid1 I tend to try and take the reasonable middle ground despite my bias (much to the chagrin of my more dogmatic father) so its personally affirming that a neutral agrees with my take 😂
But you are correct on that point, for Rangers to capitalise they had to be on an even keel. It took Gerrard years of hard work to get there, but an even keel is all it was; Celtic's collapse flattered them. If Rangers performed below their average last year they would still most likely have won the league comfortably.
Thanks JJ, Celtic are great this year but let's not talk up Ange too much, we want to keep him.
Love me some Angeball
That ppda stat is just outrageous lmao
0:30 As a Hibs fan this graphic hurts.
Hopefully he could do what Strachan and Lennon and get them through a champions League group stage
Very interesting;
Hey we are Celtic Glasgow we are. Going to be in the History of 2023
Ange used to manage Melbourne Victory for a while, which is the club I support. I never attend any games while he was there because I was overseas, but it's good to see him doing well.
Victory supporter here. Ange put in a lot of the groundwork for Muscat. He also presumably put a good word in for him at Yokohama. Haven’t heard much of Muscat’s progress, but Yokohama seem to have gone okay under Muscat since Ange left judging by standings.
@@glennmaillard5972 Yokohama came second last season, but Ange has since poached their star striker so this season might be slightly tougher.
@@lzl4226 True. But I think they’re sitting second this season as well. 👍
Van Bronkhorst furiously writing down notes watching this.
Ange big challenge is a head as he heads Tottenham in the toughest league.😮
Does a free kick wall make sense? Hear me out! This question could be mentioned in your “the tifo football show”-series. The wall hinders the goalkeeper’s sight and he has to position himself worse. Plus, in our German Sunday League training sessions, we stick to the so-called “Gesetzte” (german for “placed ones”). In this exercise, every player places his ball in a given distance (~20 meters) and one after another shoots on the goal. Even though there’s no wall, only 4 out of 20 players succeed to shoot a goal. The exercise is close to a free kick without wall yet nobody delivers. So, where’s the point in setting free kick walls?
If you want an answer copy and paste this comment underneath the last Football show . They don’t grab comments from any and every video as far as I know
@@karmaascendant3936 thanks mate, already did per instinct
What happened to the previous thumbnail?
Jota was a summer signing 👍
do a video on how bad Dortmund are with their big names from 10 years ago and slow build up play
I hope one day when Ange is old he can come back to Australia to coach us at another world cup but with proper players for his system. Hopefully one day lol
Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Could we see postecoglu move to the premier league in the future?
I think possibly yes. He'll be on team's radar now at the very least, although he may have to do something in Europe to become a real target. Having said that, winning the treble in his first season when everybody thought a massive rebuilding year was in store would be a hugely impressive feat, and Premier League sides also needing to rebuild may find that attractive.
Yes. If Jesse Marsch managed to move there, He could.
Jota arrived in the summer, not the winter
Gooooooooooooooood video
