Patro Eisden won 4-1 against Charleroi in the Belgian Cup. The Maasmechelen club used some trickery to make the task more difficult for their opponent.
Rik De Mil pointed Stijn Stijnen in a press conference after the Cup match against Patro Eisden, accusing Stijnen of having taken “precautions” for the “reception” of Sporting de Charleroi (read HERE).
“What an incredible story, isn’t it? I laughed until I cried reading that. Maybe Netflix should make a documentary about the Patro. Guaranteed success!”, says Johan Boskamp at Importance of Limburg.
The Ideal World has already made fun of Stijnen’s tricks. Boskamp admits he once let the grass grow a little longer when visiting a big club to slow down their game, but he never went as far as Stijnen.
“But I have never closed toilets or coated walls with bleach. If that is true, it is of course absurd,” Boskamp continues. He also has a problem with anonymous witnesses after the fact.
“If someone criticizes a colleague, they should have the courage to say it openly instead of hiding behind anonymity. But if Stijnen had done this kind of thing to me in the past, he would have paid for it right away. evening face to face, not the next day in the newspapers.”
