Charleroi vs Standard: Exciting Derby Ends in Last-Minute Penalty Drama

2023-08-13 19:20:00

Arnaud Bodart: “It’s a game that’s not easy to explain. We started well then we hit a low point where we suffered a lot. We still manage to put this goal once morest. It was better in the second half, but we cracked at the end on the penalty spot. It’s frustrating, but we haven’t created enough chances, so the result is quite logical. We have a record of 1 out of 9, we will have to do more, because it is clearly insufficient. It’s pretty solid defensively, but we have to find the solution to score goals and not suffer in every game.

Zinho Vanheusden: “We know that there is tension in a derby, it was up to us to respond and we did. We suffered, but they didn’t have many chances apart from Mbenza’s latte. After the first two games, it was important to send a message: mentality always comes first when you play for Standard. We must continue to work before welcoming the Cercle.”

Adem Zorgane: “We are obviously disappointed. We played well in the first half with a lot of goal situations, but we concede a goal on a counter-attack. It is an individual error that costs us dearly. We pushed in the second half and scored this penalty. We know that a derby is always tense, we will have to be calmer in the next matches, not like at the end of the match.

Damien Marcq: “We wanted to put some intensity, which was lacking last week, so that they abuse the long balls. We conceded this goal so it didn’t turn out in our favour, but we reacted, that’s what makes us strong. We still lack automation, efficiency and intensity. We worked well this week and I think it showed. Since my injury I had this derby in mind for my return. I was very tired towards the end and I even had cramps. We would have liked to take the three points so we are inevitably disappointed.

Isaac Mbenza: “My strike on the latte? It’s a small detail that might have changed everything, but that’s how it is, that’s football. We had a non-match last week, we had to have a reaction for us, but especially for the supporters. We mightn’t return the same copy, especially in a match like this. We had some problems in the last meters, it’s a lack of automation. It’s frustrating, because we combine well, but it lacks accuracy in the last gesture.

Carl Hoefkens: “We knew it would be a difficult match, a derby is always like that. They weren’t really dangerous except on the set pieces. We score on a counter, but it was a closed match, it’s logical that we score like that. In the second half, Charleroi pushed once more, but once more he was not really dangerous. Afterwards they receive a penalty, which is incredible in my opinion. When you concede a penalty like that at the end of the match, it’s frustrating. The most important thing was fighting spirit, which they did well for 90 minutes. It’s not enough in the game yet, but I’m still happy with the behavior of my players.

Felice Mazzu: “We played very high in the first half hour and in the second half. Humbly, if a team were to win tonight, it’s Charleroi. We have this penalty, but it’s part of the game. Against Louvain we lose two points for a non-existent penalty. I would like to congratulate my players for their commitment. If we have to remember a negative point, it is the lack of presence in the opposing rectangle. We also have to create more chances when we dominate like we did. This problem is rather a lack of time and automation than a lack of quality. If we want to stay positive, the players gave their all and offered a good attacking game.
