“No one was up to standard”: the unionist locker room shook after Bosuil’s slap – Tout le football

The Union presented itself in Antwerp with the desire to confirm its good series at the end of the calendar year (eleven matches in a row without defeat). But the Saint-Gillois had great difficulty existing against Jonas De Roeck’s men, both present in the physical duel and very fair technically.

Quite the opposite of the Unionists: “I’m disgusted, we never got into the match. What we showed wasn’t enough. It wasn’t our true colors. And we can’t stop.” take it only from ourselves” explains Noah Sadiki to the newspaper Le Soir.

A real slap

“Antwerp came with a clear plan, that of making us rotate all over the field. We never knew how to find the solution, we never responded with intensity. That’s what killed us “When we go 2-1, we have the feeling that we can come back and then the third goal arrives and everyone collapses. That’s where we have to grow.”

Alessio Castro-Montes is equally aware of the shortcomings displayed: “Unfortunately, the score is very heavy. Perhaps even too heavy. But the defeat is deserved. We made too many individual mistakes. And at the collective level, we were not either here”.

“Whether in defense, in the middle or in attack, we were not at the level. And if no one is at the level, it’s difficult to score” summarizes Castro-Montes, once again aligned on the side left to leave the right flank to Anan Khalaili. A match which sounds like a real warning before the resumption of the championship and this trip to Charleroi.
