Raphael Holzhauser returned to a defensive position as an offensive midfielder. Teammate Pierre Bourdin explained afterwards that the players had made that decision themselves.
“We wanted to try something with Rapha to change the course of the game,” he said. “Because it was complicated and disastrous.”
“The coach does not have to come back after the winter break,” says Gert Verheyen. “It stays better in Argentina.”
“Offensive footballers cannot defend”, Wesley Sonck knows from experience.
“This is more than a position change,” he says. “From an attacking midfielder to a central defender? I had never seen that before.”
“They determine the tactics, not the trainer”, says a surprised Jan Boskamp. “The coach has already given up,” thinks Franky Van der Elst. “Because they have insufficient quality”, Verheyen concludes.
