Kortrijk lost to Charleroi yesterday afternoon (0-1). The Kerels felt they deserved better.
For his first at the Stade des Eperons d’or since his return to Kortrijk, Yves Vanderhaeghe hoped to put Charleroi under pressure, as is often the case with these supporters so close to the pitch. But from a sporting point of view, the team did not often give them the opportunity to ignite, with a certain helplessness in the game.
“We played a decent game, but we lost the battle for the second ball every time. It was always for Charleroi and it annoyed me. In this way, you are always pushed back and you cannot find an offensive solution” he complained.
A crucial transfer window to maintain
Captain Joao Silva was more positive: “It was a match that we always had to win, especially at home. And we put in the ingredients for it. In the first half, we had a few big chances, but we lacked efficiency Then, we tried everything, but there was a very good team opposite.
Yves Vanderhaeghe is now looking forward to the transfer window: “It is clear that after the New Year we will need reinforcements here and there. This will be necessary to make the core competitive for the second part of the season.”
Because as soon as the team has to deplore a few withdrawals (there were six against the Zebras, including players such as Nacho Ferri and Abdelkahar Kadri), it is felt: “We have to live with the way things have turned out. The most important thing is that we can learn from these last matches. Both at staff (and group) and management level.
