Seraing still can’t do it! Indeed, Mbaye Leye’s men have yet to win a single match in the league this season. Last Sunday, they lost to Seraing. The coach analyzes this new disappointment for the Seresians.
Disappointed, Mbaye Leye came to our microphone to talk about RFC Liège’s defeat against Seraing with a score of 0-3.
The Senegalese saw a different team from the one that had been on the field since the start of the season: “I think everything was in place for the team to collapse. There were people in the stadium, which we didn’t you don’t usually see, and the fact of conceding this goal meant that behind, the reaction was not there. When you concede a goal, there are mistakes, and there was no longer anyone to take the lead. Unfortunately, the whole team collapsed which we haven’t seen since the start of the season, because we are in a good dynamic, we are playing well, we are creating chances today. Once again, we created chances, but there was a certain excitement.”
“What am I going to say in the locker room? No, it’s better that I don’t say anything for now. I think we’ll talk about it tomorrow, because the disappointment is great for everyone. Take a step back will help us. It was a key match compared to our start to the season. We probably deserved more points so far, but today, no, Liège played very well, they were solid, and Zakaria Atteri. in front, made the difference. He didn’t lose any balls, he put our entire defense in difficulty, and Liège was clinically good compared to us.
Liège may not have been an exceptional team, but they were a team that knew what they wanted.”
The native of Birkelane then spoke about the absences from RFC Liège, for him it was not necessarily an advantage: “Yes, absences always play a role, but those who were there showed they wanted to prove their worth. They may not have been an exceptional team, but they were a team that knew what they wanted and waited for the right moment. The first goal was crucial. […] We gave them confidence, and that’s what made the difference.”
Another derby next week
“Is it a good thing to follow up with another derby (Eupen next week)? Yes, it’s a good thing, and what’s more it’s at home. Maybe there will be fewer everyone in the stadium, and that will suit us, it’s a little joke, but I’m referring to last year we played a great match against Anderlecht, we won, everyone was on top, there was confidence. there it was the same against SK Beveren, where we deserved to win, but today it was quite the opposite, it’s black and white,” explains the Seraing coach.
“That’s why the disappointment is great, but I don’t want to minimize the merit of Liège. They were very good, efficient and they controlled the game.”
