Union does not care in the Champions’ Play-off and cannot be satisfied with a 0 out of 12. In the Nieuwsblad, sports psychologist sheds light on Christian Burgess, the central defender of the Brussels team.
On the opening day of the season, Union’s centre-back deliberately threw the ball at an opponent’s head, and later in the match against Club Brugge he was involved in a scuffle. Last weekend he attracted even more attention with a particularly cynical interview, in which he even insulted a journalist.
“The build-up of negativity creates a downward spiral, trapping you in a vicious circle. This can lead to poor choices and unfortunate comments being made, such as with Christian Burgess. As Union field leader he carries a great responsibility, but his Negative reaction to a defeat only contributes to an even more negative atmosphere around the club. This is the last thing you want to do,” he notes.
