A little humor in a complicated evening. Because David Hubert did not only have positive words about his players. “We had a good start to the match with a good tempo on the ball for 15 minutes. We weren’t dangerous enough. We should have scored a goal. Then the red changed the appearance of the game. We played against a wall with too little tempo on the ball to change sides. We forced things.”

At the break, he tried to inject new energy. “And finally the hardest part is done by scoring the goal. My players then behave as human as they are bizarre. We have to continue to push, keep a good speed of movement to make it 2-0. But we stopped our high pressure We lost our speed of play. We had to be able to kill the match. If you don’t do that, you find yourself in situations like their goal. A loss of ball, a necessary foul and we can concede. I’m glad the goal fell and was canceled. The players felt the fear of losing two points.
Amazing scene: Hubert did not celebrate Edozie’s goal. He explains: “At first I was afraid of Verschaeren going offside. Then I was already thinking about how to score the second and how to help the players do it. But I decided realized that I also had to savor the moment.”
