Rik de Mil: “There are three finals left. We must continue on this path! »»
I think we have started the meeting well. We knew how to create a few opportunities, even if we could have been more dangerous in the last gesture. The start of the match was under control, but thereafter, the Standard began to hurry us more. Their organization was good and put us in difficulty. So we saw a balanced match; At the end of the first period, the standard was even a little more dominant than us.
At halftime, I asked that we play more, that we create more opportunities. We score this goal and then it is balanced again. It’s not our best match, but it’s a derby, there is intensity, we keep zero. I am happy on the mental and physical level too. We had opportunities at 0-1, we have to kill the match; There is also a goalkeeper’s judgment. But we still have to understand that we have to kill the match.
-After the final whistle, I went to the gallery of our supporters to thank them, as if they had been present with us today. They were there all week, present in training, at our departure … Their support is precious, and today, it is also for them that we won. We owed them that.
This victory is good. During the season, we had lost here and conceded a draw at home. I told players that it was an opportunity to show that we have matured mentally. It is our first victory outside in these play-offs, and winning it here has a strong symbolic value.
There are three finals left. We must continue on this path!
