It is far from the disappointment of the start of the season following elimination in the first round of the Champions League. This Saturday, in Mechelen, the Anderlechtoises let their joy burst following a complicated Cup final but the end of which smiled on the players of Johan Walem. Moreover, it was easily recognized in the camp of the winners, the score was a little forced.
“It’s true, it’s a bit much but, following the hour mark, when it was still 0-0, we remained calm”commented captain Laura De Neve, still loyal to her club next season. “As soon as we made it 1-0 with Sarah Wijnants, Standard started to show signs of fatigue as we increased our level.”
After two seasons without being able to go to the end, the fault of the Covid, the Belgian Cup was finally able to have a winner once more this time, with a double at the key for the winners. “This double was our dream”enthuses No. 8. “At the start of the season, we had three goals with the 2nd round of the WCL. We still managed to improve over the season.”
After celebrating and taking a few days off, the Anderlecht captain will join the national team with a Wullaert who has added a new national cup to her list, which she has done almost every year since 2013. “It’s good to finish in style following a complicated season which was not as easy as last year. We fought until the end”whispered a Tessa Wullaert who is announced on the start. “This Saturday, we were better in the second half and in 15 minutes, we made the difference. But it was not easy and I think that a Humartus (Editor’s note: central defender of Standard) deserves to be in the national team. “In Mechelen it was not a farewell match. I just performed my match. Now I’m going on vacation.”
