Author of a good start in the red jersey, the right back had been away from the field for a little over a month, but he made his return to the Liège eleven last weekend.
Arrived this winter from Kortrijk, Gilles Dewaele missed the month of February because of a groin injury. He finally found the pitch last weekend during the Walloon shock once morest Sporting Charleroi where he had to leave following a blow to the face from Daan Heymans. “Yes, it’s better. It was not voluntary on his part, but he should have received a red card. Noë Dussenne was expelled for less than that once morest Beerschot”, confided the right back in press conference.
“The worst moment was this defeat in Ostend”
Being away for several weeks was complicated for Dewaele who saw his new team record several defeats. “It was difficult because I wanted to play and help the team. The worst moment was this defeat in Ostend because it was really not good. There I am back and I think I delivered a good performance in Charleroi. We might have won at Mambourg, but this division was not bad in the end”, specified the 26-year-old player.
“We are and remain Standard de Liège”
Assured of maintenance, can number 16 finally play without pressure and in a liberated way? “Maybe, but I don’t think we should think that way. We are and remain Standard de Liège. We have to win every game and give the maximum for ninety minutes,” said the defender who hopes to see Sclessin busier this Sunday than during the reception of Beerschot (9000 fans present). “It would be good for the stadium to be full, but 20,000 would be great too. Our twelfth man is important and then it’s the derby. Seraing will fight for every ball, and this meeting is one of their last hopes. won’t be such an easy game, and we shouldn’t underestimate our opponents. They were supposed to win at Zulte Waregem and can be dangerous,” concluded Dewaele.
