Striking confession after Anderlecht-Cercle: “Being able to play thanks to medication” – Football News

Against Cercle Brugge you have to try to survive the first half hour and RSC Anderlecht did that very well. Exactly at that turning point, groenzwart completely lost control of the match.

At this level and at this time of the competition, such mistakes are punished without mercy. The goals conceded were actually giveaways from Cercle Brugge.

The Association works with many young players and they still have a lot to learn for trainer Miron Muslic. The Champions’ Play-offs are therefore a very important learning moment for his team.

Muslic could not count on Thibo Somers in the first half. He was ill and could only get minutes after half time. “My sinuses have been blocked for the last two days. Thanks to medication I was able to play,” he told Sporza afterwards.

According to Somers, Cercle Brugge also missed too many opportunities. “After 20 seconds we could have already broken the game open. That doesn’t work and then it quickly becomes 2-0. After that 3-0 in the second half we no longer believed in it. We have to move more up front and attack at the back, because we have players with speed.”
