With this second victory in a few days, David Hubert was satisfied with the performance of his players as well as their approach to the game. Anderlecht proposed the game that the coach works on during training.
David Hubert said: “The numbers, the 3 points are certainly very important but above all it’s the way that pleases me. The counter-pressing to avoid moments of transition, the intensity, the deep runs, the numerous entries into the box, all of this was very good. These are things that we work on in training and it’s nice to see them in matches. It’s a deserved victory.”
After a series of two defeats, Anderlecht had a crucial need to get its act together. “After two defeats, my men were under pressure today but they responded. We are getting closer to what we want to implement, to the level at which we want to evolve. We’re not there yet but we’re getting closer,” added David Hubert, visibly satisfied with his group’s response.
BAD NEWS
The coach also returned to Ashimeru’s injury, who came off just before half-time. “He is a player who showed good things in training. It’s a different profile from what we have, which brings a lot of dynamism. It’s a shame. We will see the analyzes tomorrow but it is probably a small tear in the quadriceps,” he said.
PROGRESS
Anderlecht thus showed clear progress in the game, demonstrating a commitment and intensity that had been lacking in previous matches. This result revives the group and strengthens the foundations of the system that David Hubert is seeking to implement. The premature exit of Ashimeru is a downside for the people of Brussels, but the collective was able to manage this temporary absence without difficulty.
Anderlecht will play in the Europa League this Thursday against Rigas before traveling to Cercle on Sunday, November 10.
