She might do some good, that one. Weaned from victories for 2 matches in the Pro League, Anderlecht found a smile again by outclassing, without trembling, a weak Kortrijk team (4-0). The Mauves therefore resume their march forward, to the great pleasure of their coach, David Hubert who (finally) records his first victory in the championship since his official induction at the head of the team.
Questioned by the Pro League, the Brussels technician, visibly relaxed, detailed all the things that made him happy this Sunday: “The numbers certainly, the victory certainly, but above all it’s the way that I like. The intensity, the counter-pressing, the deep runs, all of that was there today. This is a logical result given the performance. We could have even scored more today.” he savors.
Key moment of the match, leaving the locker room after the break: “It was only 1-0 at halftime, although the 1st half had been good. It was our goal, to push in the first quarter of an hour of the second half, plus we were playing towards our kop. We wanted to keep the desire to move forward and our aggressiveness.”
An aggressiveness which ended up paying off since the Mauves scored three more goals to sign a big victory, which they are not accustomed to in recent times. So, is Anderlecht getting closer to its best level? “We are getting closer and closer. We must not forget that we are coming from a 0/6 so we had a certain pressure today. The guys responded, it’s nice. We’re not there yet, but it already looks like it.” deciphers Hubert, who is trying to put his personal stamp on this team.
The only downside to an almost perfect evening was the injury exit of Majeed Ashimeruas he seemed to gain momentum: “He showed good things, he brings dynamism and things that we don’t have. On a pass, something goes through his quadriceps so it will probably be a small tear unfortunately. We’ll see with the results of the ‘analysis tomorrow.”
