What a disastrous performance from RSC Anderlecht this Thursday in Plzen! The Mauves lost ingloriously, probably offering their worst match of the season.
Did we witness this Thursday the worst match of Sporting d’Anderlecht under David Hubert ? Throughout the meeting, we asked ourselves the question among colleagues. Some placed the meeting in Bruges, catastrophic it is true, at almost the same level. But the opposition was different.
Against an inferior Viktoria Plzen, Anderlecht, in our opinion, delivered its worst performance – without, it is true, a few important starters. But there is no question of Hubert hiding. “I’m not going to talk about individual performances. It was a bad match on a collective level. Those who have been playing a lot lately haven’t shown more tonight than those who are playing less,” said the RSCA coach.
Hubert wants to see a reaction in Mechelen
Anderlecht in fact lacked the basic ingredients allowing a result when things are complicated: the grinta, the desire. “We had difficulty winning the duels. However, that is the basis of football, the intensity. If you don’t put it in, you can expect a complicated match”, underlines David Hubert, who had turn at kick-off and then had to resolve to bring in the heavy artillery in the second half.
-“The turning point? With the busy schedule and the departures, we had to make the right choices. The newcomers cannot play,” he recalls. “And after all, it remains an eleven against eleven match. The team disappointed me today and I am waiting for a reaction on Sunday in Mechelen.”
We will indeed have to show something else, also in order to receive Hoffenheim with a slightly clearer head in a week. “The analysis of this match is obviously negative, but we must not throw everything away after these 7 days. We lost a final for the top 8, there is one left,” concludes David Hubert with optimism.
