The play-offs are four games away for Union SG. Coach Blessin’s team, which was at the top after the regular competition, has already lost every match.
The pressure is clearly high at Union SG, but they have not yet managed to collect a single point in the Champions’ Play-offs. Alexander Blessin hopes to finally turn the tide against Royal Antwerp FC.
The two games against the reigning national champions are crucial for the people of Brussels to recover. The word ‘title’ will no longer be used for the time being. The Union trainer is even turning to alternative methods, he said at his press conference.
He brought up videos of American basketball legend Michael Jordan and top club Manchester City to restore faith in his players.
“A video of a legend like Michael Jordan has a lot of impact,” he explained, as Het Belang van Limburg quotes the German. “How he talks about how he has failed thousands of times in his life and has taken responsibility for all his missed shots and still became successful. My players have to learn from that.”
Worst moment you can think of
According to Blessin, sports always have ups and downs, but you have to want to fight back. “I also showed this to my players with the Netflix series about Man City, which won the treble last season. They also lost four matches in a row. The reaction of their players was interesting for us.”
According to Blessin, every big club loses sometimes and it doesn’t run the whole season like the moment. However, it happens at the worst time imaginable for Union SG, but they have to get out of this.
