Union Saint-Gilloise is still in the race to win three trophies this season. But wouldn’t she be better off focusing on just one race?
This Thursday evening, Union Saint-Gilloise will host Fenerbahce in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Conference League. A high-tension match at Lotto Park where the Saint-Gillois will hope to make a good impression against the formidable Turks.
This season, USG is once again defying all odds and is still in the race for three potential trophies. Indeed, by eliminating Club Bruges, Alexander Blessin’s men are only one victory away from the Belgian Cup (against Antwerp on May 9). He also has the Conference League with this double confrontation against Fener.
Nilsson believes that the Union is betting above all on the championship
But there is also the championship of which they have been the leaders for months and whose classic phase is almost coming to an end before the start of the Champions Playoffs.
Will the team make a choice to focus on a single trophy in order to ensure the best chances of winning? In an interview with Le Soir, Gustaff Nilsson gave his point of view on the issue: “We are going to fight on three fronts but our ‘focus’ is on the championship because it has been a long time since the Union won more. That’s what we fight for all season.”
