The atmosphere was relaxed at the press conference. However, Anderlecht is playing big. “It's the match of the year. And I hope that the fans will also be there to break all the records. They have been fantastic throughout the season, but this time Lotto Park must truly be hell. We need everyone to beat Genk. This is a team that is hard to beat. Even without a coach. I don't really understand why Vrancken was fired now, but that's none of my business. It’s annoying not knowing how Genk will play without Vrancken.”
Since Vertonghen and Ashimeru are out, Riemer must find solutions. Gattoni will play for sure. “If there's anyone who knows how to play marking a number 9, it's him, given his past in South America. We cannot blame him for a lack of combativeness. Now is the time to take your chance.” And will Amuzu be at kick-off, allowing Stroeykens to play in the middle? “Ciske is fit, but it’s up to us to see if he’s ready for the 90 minutes.”
Riemer also wanted to reassure Domenico Tedesco in relation to Vertonghen. “In the last match of the season, we are not going to take unnecessary risks with Jan. Jan knows her body. If he plays, it is because he feels that he is not taking any risk with a view to the Euro. The same goes for Ashimeru: it will be limited for the last match, but we are not excluding anything at the moment.”
