The team first highlighted the management of Anderlechtois during this match. “Congratulations to Riemer because today the result was in line with the way of playing” advance Pascal Scime. “In the first half Sporting d’Anderlecht had control of the ball, domination, it was not flamboyant but it was better than its opponent. So we should not trivialize this victory either because Saint-Truiden was the fourth defense in our league, so only the first three had conceded fewer goals than the Canaries. Benito Raman who gave back the confidence that Brian Riemer granted him.”
He adds : “Slimani who goes up and who scores. Dreyer which is January’s transfer mark too. Now, we will have to confirm and continue this walk. They are just one point out of the top eight and eighth place. Next trip it will be difficult for Courtrai which is trying to save itself. After Kortrijk, there will be the reception of Standard. So here, Anderlecht must be perfect in the next two games.”
Joachim Mununga also appreciated the way Anderlecht played this Sunday: “I just hope it’s not a thinning. But it confirms the form they are in. Defensively it was solid and that’s why I want to put this victory on the account of maturity. […] It was a tricky match and yet Anderlecht have 73% possession. In the first half, it feels like sterile ball possession. But no, in fact, it’s possession of the ball, I want to say maturity. We go around the block, we try to find the fault without discovering ourselves too much, we don’t lose patience. And then this goal of Benito Raman, which has just freed the Anderlechtois. A long ball launched in depth. And now, he comes to play his role of fox and he comes to put this goal at the bottom which rewards his efforts well. Because he did not count his efforts. And so that’s it directly changes the face of the meeting and we come across a Saint-Trond who is forced to discover himself. And there, Anderlecht can express its football. So I want to say that it is maturity that brings these three points.”
