Club Brugge played KRC Genk from pillar to post. It was a completely different image of blue-black that we got, compared to that under trainer Ronny Deila.
Club Brugge is racing through the Champions’ Play-offs like an express train. 13 out of 15 and two more wins in the Conference League on top of that. Nicky Hayen clearly did not miss his debut as a trainer at Club Brugge.
“Hayen always finds the opponent’s weakness and the team also carries out his plan, because that is of course the greatest requirement to be successful,” says Tom Boudeweel on Sporza. Even the opponents are impressed.
This impressive series makes Club Brugge a full title contender again, something no one would have thought possible. “6 wins in a row. That’s all you need as a team to start the final sprint with a lot of confidence,” Boudeweel continues.
Extreme makeover
What is striking is that he allows many players to be the best versions of themselves again. “When you see how Igor Thiago celebrates his first goal since the end of January with his trainer, immediately after the goal and also after the match, you feel and see that he has the right connection with his players.”
It must be particularly hard for the previous trainer. “How he resuscitated Onyedika into another player who can handle a higher level, a different competition. How Skoras plays football. Then you also wonder how Ronny Deila, the previous coach, views this team. It’s just an extreme makeover.”
