The decision may have been made in the play-downs on Sunday evening. If RWDM beats KV Kortrijk at home, both the Kerels and Eupen are certain of relegation and the Brussels team will play a jump-off match against Deinze, Zulte Waregem, Lommel or Patro Eisden.
Charleroi is assured of place thirteen, RWDM can secure place fourteen if it wins against KV Kortrijk. For De Kerels it is therefore a matter of grasping the last straw. That will certainly not be easy.
With a draw it is still mathematically possible, but in fact we have to win to be able to dream of an extended stay in the Jupiler Pro League. Georges Leekens is ex-coach of KV Kortrijk and has spoken out about the matter.
“I wonder about the team’s resistance to stress. Relegation stress is a completely different stress compared to championship stress. Everything now revolves around faith and trust towards the final matches.”
It’s only about winning
He has a far-reaching tip for coach Freyr Alexandersson: “Players who no longer believe in it? I wouldn’t draft them anymore,” said the former national coach. “You have to look for winners in the team.”
“You have to have men who want to score points. You have to teach them that they are not going to make mistakes, but that they are going to let the opponent make mistakes. It is no longer about nice football, but about winning.”
