“David Hubert denied himself”: a former Anderlecht player sounds the alarm – All football

Anderlecht could have been the winner of the weekend: in the event of a victory in Genk, Sporting would have come within two points of the leading duo composed of Limburg and Club Brugge.

But with the 2-0 defeat, the gap is five points with the Club, and even eight points with Racing. Marc Degryse above all witnessed a Anderlecht unrecognizable and without relief, who nevertheless had every reason to go to the CEGEKA Arena with complete confidence after eleven matches in a row without defeat.

Anderlecht must still upgrade in the posters

But quite the opposite happened: “By adopting this approach, Anderlecht put Racing Genk in the saddle. David Hubert denied himself” believes Marc Degryse in Het Laatste Nieuws.

“His choices were for once in contradiction with the relaxed coaching that we have seen from him in recent months” believes the consultant, formerly of the purple house.

At the same time, Genk remained true to itself to achieve a ninth victory in a row at home: “Racing was at its level, at least at the level at which it usually performs in front of its supporters. Their big challenge for 2025 will be to reproduce these performances at the outside”. Unless you do it at the end of the year? Thorsten Fink's men still have one match to play away from home, against Antwerp.
