Askou Unveils Vision to Transform Motherwell

Jens Berthel Askou is determined to establish a strong foundation for Motherwell as they prepare for a critical away match against Celtic. The match, scheduled for Sunday, is particularly significant following Celtic’s recent Europa League defeat to Braga.

Transforming Motherwell’s Style of Play

Since joining the club last summer, Askou has successfully transformed Motherwell’s approach to the game. The team has adopted a bold, possession-based style that showcases their capabilities. Askou expressed the need for consistency beyond initial good performances, stating, “It’s about doing something throughout the season.”

Season Performance and Cup Aspirations

This season, Motherwell has remained unbeaten across all competitions. However, their first win in the Premiership came only last weekend against Aberdeen. Despite the slow start in the league, Askou remains optimistic and aims to push the team further in cup tournaments.

• First Premiership win achieved against Aberdeen.
• Last victory against Celtic Park occurred nearly a decade ago.
• Aim to reach the top three in the league standings with a win on Sunday.

Focus on Competition and Ambition

Askou insists on prioritizing Motherwell’s play over their opponent’s strength. Acknowledging the challenges posed by clubs with greater resources and experience, he emphasizes the importance of ambition in their approach. “We are going for it with everything we can,” he remarked.

This upcoming match against Celtic is not just a test of skill but an opportunity for Motherwell to demonstrate their competitive spirit. Askou believes that success in this match could be crucial for the team’s momentum as they strive for a successful season.
