Sébastien Pocognoli and Union Saint-Gilloise are fixed on their opponents in the Europa League. T1 returned to this draw, but also to the reception of Anderlecht this Sunday.
This Sunday, Union Saint-Gilloise hosts Anderlecht in the Pro League. An opponent that is quite successful for the unionists who have never lost at home against Anderlecht since their promotion to D1A.
“It’s a special match for the club and the supporters“, explain Sebastian Pocognoli to our microphone.”For me, it’s my first derby as a coach and I’m looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere and the sensations. We’re going to try to preserve our unbeaten record against Anderlecht since our return to D1A. And continue what has been done.“
T1 also took the opportunity to look back on his team’s start to the season: “The start of the season is not complicated, but rather sluggish. Like many Belgian teams. We have to find our rhythm and this match can be a moral boost to start the season at the end of the transfer window to really define where we are. This match comes at the right time.“
For Sébastien Pocognoli, his team is not lacking much: “We need a bit of stability and the return of the injured. And to be able to really work with a defined core. For us, as a staff, it is important to be able to say that we can go to work with a defined group. For the players too, it is important that the transfer window closes so that we can start again on a stable basis. We may lack quality or accuracy in the last third of the pitch. We are working on it.“
In addition to the championship, Union Saint-Gilloise is also in the running in the Europa League. And Pocognoli took the opportunity to discuss the draw and the matches that await his team.It’s a draw that I enjoyed. We’re playing big games and also teams in pot 3 and 4 that are good quality. All the matches will be very intense and all the matches will be difficult. It’s going to be open and I’m satisfied.”
