Standard travels to Genk tomorrow. Enough to bring us a new tactical fight between Felice Mazzu and Ivan Leko.
Before this season, Felice Mazzu managed to beat Ivan Leko in their last two matches in the match, when Charleroi managed to make it six from six against Club Brugge in 2018/2019. Before that, Leko had won four times.
This season, Standard’s victory against Saint-Trond had made Mazzu come off his hinges, it was during the affair of Adriano Bertaccini’s famous goal wrongly canceled for his pressing on Matthieu Epolo. Enough to prevent the Canaries from equalizing in the moneytime at Sclessin.
Two good customers from our Pro League
Felice Mazzu obviously did not forget it and did not fail to allude to it with humor during the press conference: “I am happy to meet Ivan Leko on Sunday evening, even if we did not agree on the result after the first leg,” he laughs, in comments reported by Het Belang van Limburg.
-The Trudonnaire coach was complimentary towards his Liège counterpart: “He is one of the best coaches in Belgium. He knows very well what he wants and he transmits it well to his group of players”.
Despite the outcome of the first leg, the reunion should therefore take place in a good spirit. Especially sinceIvan Leko will meet some acquaintances at Stayen: he trained there during the 2016/2017 season.
