“He reacted in the right way” – Rangers’ boss lauds Cyriel Dessers’ mentality in Olympiacos draw

Rangers head coach, Philippe Clement, has praised Super Eagles striker, Cyriel Kolawole Dessers, for his impeccable mentality as a striker, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 29-year-old forward scored Rangers’ equaliser in their UEFA Europa League group phase clash against Olympiacos last night, but he’d scuffed a couple of chances prior to the goal.

Speaking at the end of the game, Philippe Clement lauded the striker for not allowing the chances he missed get to him mentally.

“It is crucial, that is why we have been working not only him but the whole squad from October last season but we had to stat again. This is football, and I want to see that mentality. Every time.

It’s very important in the way I want to see a dressing room. In the way I want to see a team on the pitch. And the last couple of months, they had a few banks on their heads. That we could use as a lesson to get this mentality. We have Cyriel.

We have other examples also. Vaclav was really down. After Malmo early on, Lyon, missing the chances. He reacted in the right way, because it’s so crucial in football. That you don’t look back and look forward and you dig in every time. When things don’t go your way.

You need to force it your way. And that’s what we want to do in the next couple of months,” the Belgian gaffer said in quotes revealed by Rangers review.

Philippe Clement will be hoping his team’s brief turn of form will be mirrored in the league when they face Hearts on Sunday.
