Stephen Bradley the Shamrock Rovers manager suddenly seeing a recovery from his all fighting Hoops. Now is to brace for another contest as well rounded challenge in his squad upcoming European adventures.
So far, in the drawing for the Europa League, the Rovers paired against Swedish side AIK from Solna municipality outside Stockholm and with a 2nd, place finish in the last edition of the Swedish league the Allsvenkan.
The Hoops not seeded against an easy foe in the AIK, which has been considered as one of these league top-rated squads and successful in their European performances in bout Europa and Champions contests.
With home field advantage in the first Leg, Tallaght Stadium once again will live the hype and emotions of international football and against a serious foe in the Swedish side.
As this affair scheduled on July 12 in the colossus of Dublin, and the second leg on July 19 at Stockholm venue in Friends Arena in Solna, Sweden.
For the Rovers juggling league and international play, for manager Bradley he will use all of his resources to try to maintain his squad positive run in Airtricity as well looking forward to a prolific European adventure.
After their elimination in the second round by Czech side FK Mlada Boleslav after the Irish side eliminated Iceland Stjarnan in the first round, their hopes came down after losing in the global score of 5-2.
That was that and now the Hoops seeing a sort of revival in league play after their last weekend win over Derry City reaching three wins in a row and playing against the defending champions Cork City in Turners Cross.
Still for the Hoops playing sans Graham Burke their recent departure to England’s promotion association championship, now they will work with the current roster that after the departure of their international player these are delivering notable results.
The long road of what seems to be a much-contested campaign in the League of Ireland Premiership and now in the European theaters were the Hoops would like to reach the coveted stage groups.
For now, they are to focus in their upcoming league compromise and later prepare themselves to host to their guests of AIK a week later and look forward to have a positive result at home and going to Swedish lands with an all-around advantage.
To conclude the Rovers with a busy month of July in the works with Europa League knockout round, League and cup play along and a friendly against Brendan Rodgers Celtic in Tallaght on July 7.
The Boys of South Dublin Town will be and ready for their compromises and looking forward to add a player or two in the upcoming transfer’s window to substitute the likes of Burke and make a dashing run in Airtricity.
