Genk:
From now on, 16 May is a national holiday in Genk, as it already won a cup and two titles on that blessed day. Deserved champion, the entire Anderlecht stadium, especially anti-Club Brugge, cheered. It turned out to be an intimate, but very intense party with the fans from Limburg. The big festivities will follow today in Genk and on Sunday in the Luminus Arena. Coach Philippe Clement is of course the big helmsman of the new champion. Punishment. Two years as head coach and already been cup finalist and national champion.
Genk visited Anderlecht on Thursday for match ball number two. Ninety minutes later it would appear that the second would also be the right match ball. Genk quickly came in 0-1 and was already virtual champion. However, halfway through the second half, Anderlecht equalized and it was again nail biting. But because of the news from Liège, Genk had enough of a draw and she finished the game as a worthy champion.
And now? The dreaded deflation despite the Champions League? Leandro Trossard does not hide: “Whether it will be my farewell match against Standard on Sunday?” That could be, but first let me enjoy this moment. “And Clement wanted that too: party. And don’t talk about his future. “Allow me time to think about it. We will speak in a few days. And listen to Genk’s plans for the future. I have expressly asked my manager not to bother me with that in the past two months. “He has not yet decided anything.
St. Liege:
With the victory against Club Brugge, Standard has again risen to third place in the rankings. Becoming third means direct qualification for the Europa League group stage. And that means that Razvan Marin, who is leaving for Ajax next season, would have finished his last home match for Standard. “I hope so, because that means we would have finished the season well,” Marin said. “There were some emotions after the last whistle, but that is normal. I leave here with a lot of good memories. ”
Standard did not play well against Club Brugge. Collins Fai abandoned his team after twenty minutes by fully responding to the Achilles tendon of Ruud Vormer. Rightly red. Standard, however, remained upright and in the two half it was helped when a corner kicked an arm. Penalty and flawlessly converted by Marin. With a free kick of more than 30 meters, the Romanian finished the job and the supporters could celebrate.
A penalty and a great free kick. Marin didn’t need anything more to beat Club Brugge out of the title fight. “This was not a revenge,” the Romanian referred to last year when blue-black won the title on Sclessin. “We just wanted to show that we are also a strong group and team. We’re still going full for third place, aren’t we? We just want to win on Genk on Sunday. ”
