On Sunday we will open football with a clash between Antwerp and Club Brugge. Both supporter groups are rivals and will expect a fight. For Antwerp, it is gradually five to twelve and losses are excluded. Club tries to remain unbeaten for as long as possible.
Royal Antwerp:
Le Canonnier, Saturday night, on conclusion: the visiting supporters assert themselves. “Shame on you, shame on you, shame on you!”, They shout towards players and staff. Laszlo Bölöni is approaching its anniversary. On November 21 against Ghent, the Romanian will lead his hundredth match as trainer of Antwerp, at least, if he is still allowed. Internally he was already under fire, and after the umpteenth lost lead, the fans are also stirring. The top match against Club Brugge Sunday will be crucial.
“A difficult period,” says Antwerp, according to Bölöni. “I’m not looking for any excuses, but Mouscron came right after a free kick that was none and almost all of their shots flew in on goal. Everything is a bit disappointing. “Despite the six out of eighteen, there is still no man overboard, because Antwerp played only five times at home and eight times on the move, it also has a match credit. But that mental problem, those falling back and consequently those twenty goals are worrying.
The tenor of the players? Lots of bad luck with the goals. But luckily some look beyond that. Hoedt calls the football heavily below par and Kevin Mirallas also shows himself sharply. “We were exactly less in the mood after the break,” he sighs. “We crawled back and were punished. For the umpteenth time we are giving away a head start. A big problem. Everyone has to stand in front of the mirror, because this type of match can break us down. ”
Club Brugge KV :
The attacking opulence of Club Brugge has become even greater. With a brilliant performance in his first full 90 minutes this season, Siebe Schrijvers underlined his unique value for this Club Brugge. “This tastes like more,” said the Limburger after the 3-0 against KV Kortrijk. The perception is that it would not be a top marriage between Philippe Clement and Siebe Schrijvers. But much depends on how the system is implemented.
Schrijvers shook Gary Kagelmacher and Stojanovic off with a flick of the ball, with a measured pass he reached substitute David Okereke for the 3-0. Schrijvers signed on Saturday for the best action of a competition that was never a competition. Brendan Hines-Ike had already made a cross over the chances of KV Kortrijk after 55 seconds with a penalty. Then it was waiting for Hans Vanaken, with his eighth of the season, and Okereke to deliver the books.
Philippe Clement beamed afterwards. He had changed his team in six places, but saw that Odilon Kossounou, Mitrovic, Sobol, Schrijvers, Openda and Diagne should not be inferior to the players who won on Zulte Waregem on Wednesday. He particularly picked out two players: Kossounou and Schrijvers, a central defender and a shadow striker that formed an unpublished right flank. Clement visibly takes pleasure in allowing players to fit into his system against their natural preference.
