Jan Vertonghen (RSC Anderlecht) : “It wasn't such an easy match but we took advantage of the spaces left by the opposing defense. We also had to defend well because Cercle is a team that plays fast in attack. The presence of Rits in front of our line helped us repel them. We must now perform away because Club Brugge is in good shape and we must continue to give everything. A good Euro and good health.
Théo Leoni (RSC Anderlecht) : “I'm proud to be man of the match but even happier with the three points. There were a lot of anniversaries to celebrate and victory is a great gift.”
Brian Riemer (RSC Anderlecht): “I first want to start by showing my condolences to the supporter's family who unfortunately died during the first half.”
Félix Lemaréchal (Cercle Bruges): “We were on top in the first thirty minutes thanks to our pressing but we made too many mistakes and conceded two quick goals. We tried to recover in the second half but the third goal killed our hopes. We didn't “We're not used to conceding so much without creating in attack. It was our most complicated match. We have four games left, we have to give everything to get as many points as possible.”
Hannes Van Der Bruggen (Cercle Bruges): “The young substitutes played well. It was the individual errors that cost us the match and the second goal completely stopped us in our momentum. Anderlecht managed our pressing well too. We must raise our level of play. In three matches against Anderlecht, we have never been able to create real chances so we still have to work to find a solution for the next match. We deserve to be in the Champions playoff but we still have to improve.”
Miron Muslic (Cercle Bruges): “We started in a good way by playing high. We were better during the first half hour but we are at the top level of the championship and we let too many mistakes cost us two goals in quick succession.”
