Rik De Mil saves two teams in one season and responds after Charleroi fans chanted his name – Football News

De Mil saw the match against Eupen as a rollercoaster. “It has never been done here, I already said that during half-time. In the first half we played good football at certain times, in the second half we played against a team that played all or nothing and was much stronger in the matches than us,” he responded Sporza.

“That should be a lesson for us, although I did see a team that fought until the last second. That also makes me happy, you can see that the team spirit has increased a lot in recent weeks.”

With two days to go in the play-downs, the Carolos are certain. “I would have liked to see even better football in the second half, but we deserved to win. You see several boys growing to a better level, that makes me happy.”

De Mil is a man who can give a group confidence, as he previously proved at Club Brugge and Westerlo. “I wasn’t here for the Play-offs, so I can’t really say what has changed. I just worked on building a close-knit team and started putting more pressure.”

And that it was appreciated. “We wanted to play more football, and we succeeded step by step. I am happy that the supporters are chanting my name, but they also had a lot of doubts and concerns. We were able to achieve that in a few weeks, which makes me happy.”
