Friday evening, in Genk, the Rouches won the three points thanks to goals from Toloba and Gelders. “It wasn't easy and luckily Genk missed a penalty and a goal was ruled outsays Stéphane Guidi. For our part, we must be better, especially in defensive play, where we gave away too many scoring opportunities (lack of impact and aggressiveness in duels) and in the offensive 16 meters, where we have to be more killer. I also noted difficulties in construction. Speeding up the game and finding the players in the meantime was not easy. Besides that, the bench provided the necessary energy. ”
The 0-2 victory combined with Louvain's defeat in the clash against Anderlecht allows Standard to take sole lead in the competition. “We are ahead during these playoffs, as during the classic phase. This is the first time this has happened.”indicates T1.
The important thing will be to give your best so as to have no regrets.
But the most serious things begin this Tuesday, with the reception of Anderlecht for a summit match. “We have everything to gain. In case of defeat, we will have to show strength to get back up. If we win, we will have to stay with our feet on the ground. I can sometimes be angry after a victory if I notice shortcomings, just as I can be satisfied after a defeat if my group did everything to win. The important thing will be to give your best so as to have no regrets.”
Because that's not all. The Rouches will then host Louvain, before going to… Anderlecht. A complicated schedule, with three matches in around ten days. “We will have to be 100% to exist. I hope the team will have the necessary legs. I still admit to having difficulty understanding that Super League clubs play three matches in a week after an international break during which some girls played two or three matches. In total, some players will play 5 or 6 times in 15 days. There was undoubtedly a way to do better.”
For the reception of Anderlecht, Standard may have to do without Toloba, who was injured against Genk.
