Marc Schneider: “I understand that the fans are dissatisfied, it’s up to us to win them back” | Sports nearby

“I myself have been feeling good since Monday,” said Schneider, returning to his absence due to COVID at a press conference via Zoom. “I will definitely be on the bench on Sunday.” With his assistants also out of action since Friday morning, the preparation was not ideal. “Obviously these are not ideal conditions, the players had to take responsibility in training, but I hear that those sessions are good expired.” “Edmundsson will be unavailable for a long time due to kidney problems. There is a chance that he will need surgery. That is a major setback. Despite the fact that Edmundsson was never fully fit, he was important anyway. for the team.” Aristote Nkaka and Jordan Faucher are also not among them: “Aristote has acute appendicitis, this match comes too early for Jordan.” Aleksandar Vukotic was already able to train with the group, but will only be available again after the winter break.

Waasland-Beveren is going through a bizarre season. It took the majority of the points on the move, the fans on the Freethiel didn’t get much chance to cheer, except for the beautiful victory against Virton. “The fans are a bit unhappy, I can’t blame them,” said Schneider. “It’s up to us to win back the fans. We shouldn’t expect them to support them all the time without us giving them anything in return. They have the right to whistle if it is not right. We have to show that we are there and that we want to fight for their club. The club belongs to the supporters and not to us. We can only represent the club and we are not doing that well enough at the moment.” It remains strange that it works on the move. “Maybe it is the pressure at home that causes problems. Because you just want to do it right. a bad pass most players immediately go into their shell, that has to come out. You can only show your best level if you are not afraid to make mistakes.”
