The RWDM has had so many opportunities to validate its rise in D1a that it will bite their fingers forever. Ilyes Ziani was shot down after the last verdict of the season.
Three game balls missed to validate the ascent during the classic phase, a champion title for a few minutes at Zulte Waregem, Yannick Ferrera who throws in the towel the next day, Lokeren who moves the knife in the wound by eliminating the Molenbeekois in the last moments: the times are hard at the Machtens stadium.
With 7 goals and 9 assists, Ilyes Ziani is one of the key players in the RWDM season. Relegated to D1 ACFF with SL 16, the 21 -year -old attacking midfielder tasted the fight for the title … and an equally bitter verdict at the end of the season.
-Cruel scenario for the RWDM
However, he believed there until the end, starting with yesterday: “This first conceded goal was not so serious,” he explains to Newspaper. “Purpose and penalty shootouts were not insurmountable, especially because we had the public with us. Despite 3-1, I really still believed in our chances”.
“But then there was this second goal, it hurt,” said Ziani. “In any case, this reflects our season: we had control, but we flanked at the end. I hope we learn from it.”
“However, this end does not attend our whole season: we have worked well, especially after the extremely difficult moments that the club had known last season. In football, one day can be sunny and the other day very dark. Anyway, we must move forward,” concludes Ziani, who will still have managed to mark the D1B of his imprint by his sense of play and creativity.
