Malinwa showed too little grinta to really make it difficult for Seraing. And that was not to Vrancken’s liking. “The way we approached this match in terms of mentality really bothers me. This week we had anticipated that we would play against an enthusiastic opponent, and even then we are not in the game.”
Seraing took the lead after a defensive blunder by Vinicius Souza. “But also last week we conceded a goal after an individual error. Back then we were still talking about Antwerp, now we couldn’t make the connection mentally. My players wanted to force it too much, which lowered the quality. We didn’t get into our game.”
Defender Jordi Vanlerberghe said that Malinwa played “too haughty and not humble enough”. An analysis that Vrancken agreed with. “Call it what you want: we weren’t ready and handed over the match too easily. I’ve never been this disappointed since I’ve been a KV coach. This mentality is unworthy of KV Mechelen. I am delirious with anger. There are no excuses for this defeat. We were not in the game with our heads.”
