In football, it is easy to talk but this Saturday, De Mil’s men translated into action what they had planned to achieve before the match. By leading by three goals at half-time, they reassured Eupen and Kortrijk, RWDM’s competitors, for the play-off place. Yes, Charleroi will play its role as referee until the end and these were not empty words.
”It’s a great victory. We were solid from start to finish even if we relaxed in the second half,” welcomes Pétris. Not as much, however, as in Eupen last week. Ferrera also pointed this out in his post-match analysis. The Molenbeekois could never believe in a comeback, even when Gueye reduced the gap after the hour mark, because Sporting never panicked unlike Kehrweg.
”There, it was a final. Here, we were much more liberated and therefore peaceful,” continues the right side. An analysis shared by his trainer. “In Eupen, we had difficulty managing our lead. We have progressed. I am also happy with the substitutes who came on during the match.”
If everyone made their contribution, the majority of the work was done during the first 45 minutes thanks to Dari, Dragsnes and Guiagon, skillful in front of goal even if the Moroccan mainly took advantage of a hand error from Hubert to open the score. Besides, forgetting the contribution of the eight other starters would constitute a mistake as we have seen the best half-time produced by the Carolos this season.
“We become a team. I am very happy with this first period. This is the football I want to see, confides De Mil who found the reason for such a partition. In playdowns, it’s difficult to watch good matches when you’re under pressure. With the maintenance acquired, we played more liberated.”
gullWith the acquired posture, we played more liberated.
Bravo to the Zebras who could have unconsciously decompressed after the rescue among the elite at the end of such a nervous season. They now want to satisfy their appetite which opens up so much as the end of the season approaches. “I’m hungry as always. I want to continue like this against Kortrijkassures Petris. Now we have to finish in style with a 3-0 at home. We’ll get the job done.”
”We want to prepare for next seasonagrees Camara. The change of coach did us a lot of good. We manage to transmit our playing principles on the field and we have fun. We want to get to the end of these playdowns by winning against Kortrijk.”
It will perhaps be without Dari, who came off after 23 minutes, again with an ankle problem. “We have to wait for the exam results. We will see if he is ready next week”, explains De Mil. If not, T1 will field the best defender on its bench, to achieve an almost perfect record in the Relegations playoffs overtaken by the Hennuyers.
