The Club Brugge of the second half against Cercle, that is a team that can win against anyone in these play-offs. That of the first half can lose to anyone. How in one match the volatility of blue and black was once again illustrated.
Peter Vandenbempt also understands little of it in his weekly analysis for Sporza. “It is said that everything is suddenly much clearer at Club Brugge. Suddenly everyone now knows – under the new coach Nicky Hayen – what to do.”
“But then it is a mystery to me: how can you play football so poorly before half time and be dominated? That is a bit strange. Club played football completely differently after half time. So much better, faster, smoother and more eager.”
Vandenbempt also saw that Club deserved a three-pointer based on the chances, but… We have heard that story too much this season. Even under Ronny Deila, Club did not always reward itself when it was entitled to a victory and the level that Club achieved after the break has already been achieved this season.”
They will have to make a statement against Anderlecht. At home and with European football at stake, they can then take revenge for the home defeat against their arch rival a while ago.
“So whether it is all so different at Club – which should finally have left – remains to be seen. But – just like for Anderlecht – there is no better match on Sunday to show that it is ready to turn everything upside down again. into the play-offs.”
