Anderlecht did not tremble against Westerlo (4-1). Mario Stroeykens was once again at the party in midfield.
“It’s a very good evening for us. We reacted well after Westerlo’s opening score”: in a post-match interview, Mario Stroeykens symbolized an Anderlecht team which did not doubt long after the 0- 1 of the Campinois.
The Sporting playing master does not need to score or deliver an assist to leave his mark on the match: “Between Rits, Dendoncker and me, we combined very well together and we were above in the middle On our first goal, we managed this midfield very well, which allowed Rits to come from the second line to be decisive on the goal.
A virtuous circle
Automation is becoming more and more present. David Hubert sometimes turns but doesn’t overly upset his team, especially in the heart of the game: “We’re growing in this season. That’s how we gain confidence. Since we play a lot, we pick up automatisms and the game is smoother.”
-“It’s great for me to play in this team where they play very good football. But apart from me, we all grow and we can display all our talents when a team like ours plays like this” concludes Stroeykens.
Anderlecht is therefore enjoying playing again, and so are the supporters. After the reception of Beerschot on Sunday (an opponent that Sporting will meet in the quarter-final of the Cup), it will be a question of confirming in the Europa League, on the ground of Slavia Prague.
