Felice Mazzù has said it often in recent weeks: the months of October, November and December are extremely important in a season. Halfway through this period, the lights are green for the Union, which has reported fifteen out of fifteen points in the last five outings before the break. “So far, the team negotiates this period well, says the coach of the Union. But I will still have a question for my players before the match in Ostend: are they ready to handle everything who is going on around the club? I want to know if they are mentally capable of continuing to perform as they do despite the strong media coverage. Or if on the contrary this media coverage brings them negative energy. will be part of my pre-game preparation. “
For the moment, nothing seems to be able to stop the Unionists who manage to keep their feet on the ground despite the series of performances. “I hope that my players will not fall into this arrogance and that they will continue to display the same rage to win that they have displayed since the start of the championship. We must keep a certain simplicity because if we fall into a lack of humility, we won’t take many more points. “
Sunday, in Ostend, the people of Brussels will face a team that will try to get out of its negative spiral, with three defeats in the last three meetings. While knowing that, regardless of the result at the Coast, they are already guaranteed to wake up on Monday in the shoes of the leaders of the Pro League … “It’s good but it is not an end in itself, launches Felice Mazzù. As long as it is not acquired, you will still hear me talk about maintenance. But given the situation, I still set the goal of being autumn champion with the players even if that will not change not the overall goal of the season. However, we will have to take every opponent with the utmost respect. We are known more and more and we are the team to beat at the moment. We have to play every game to win it, without take into account the opponent’s classification. ”
In Ostend, Felice Mazzù will be able to count on all his players, except Senne Lynen (knee). Released against Charleroi, Casper Nielsen quickly returned to the group as Anthony Moris, absent for illness against the Zebras.
