shave: “It turned out well for us in the first half. We had control and we scored two goals. We lost control in the second half, it was more difficult for us. It’s always difficult to come and play here. I didn’t touch the ball on the 0-1, the goal is for Kouame. It feels good, because we didn’t start well following the break, it feels good to chain two victories.”
From Crombrugge: “We had to stay focused in the second half, that was the key. We had a good first half with a lot of dangers. There was less intensity in the second half. We fell back too much and we left too much space for players like Dompé. Very good work nevertheless from my defense. We still put in a good performance.”
Won: “There was a big difference in level between the first and second half. The first quarter of an hour, we were below our level. If we play all the time like in the second half, we can take a lot of points. Dompé has already given me a lot of assists, once more today. He is very strong, everyone knows his qualities. On goal, his cross is perfect.”
Kompany: “It was not necessary to put ourselves in so much difficulty at the end of the game, when we had started well and had a lot of dangerous situations. It is a match where the lesson is that we must take the chances we have, we have to finish them. It was harder in the second half, but we still had a lot of chances on the counter-attack with Amuzu, Ashimeru and Raman. On the 0-1, the decision VAR takes too long [NDLR: le VAR a mis plus de 5 minutes pour vérifier que Verschaeren n’était pas en position illicite sur l’ouverture du score de Kouamé]. I’m not saying this for us, but for Belgian football in general. The fans just wanted to have a decision following 5 minutes of waiting. Even if the decision is not in their favour.”
Simons: “During the first quarter of an hour, we had a lot of difficulties. We played more organized followingwards, but we still left too many spaces, especially in the second half. Dompé was very dangerous in 1 once morest 1 “It’s easier to say following the game that he should have started from the kick-off, but he made the difference when he came on. He forms a very good duo with Gano.”
