If he were to lose those three points, Liège would now be two and a half points behind Dender, which adds even more importance to a victory on Sunday. Behind the scenes, lately, there has been such tension between two camps of supporters who do not like each other that the Liège police have decreed that there cannot be any Dender fans at Rue de la Tonne, in the Rocourt stadium, Sunday. The presale of tickets online has been blocked for a few days and the few thousand places remaining for sale Friday evening should leave this Saturday during the day.
“We will be between 4100 and 4200 in a soldout enclosure, mentions the CQ Pierre Laurent Fassin. This has not happened since the rise of D2 in National 1 via a final round, in May 2018 against Hamme. A veteran of ours, Arnaud Winandtstoday a player at Dison, champion in D3 will kick off a meeting that promises a lot and will be whistled by Mr. Arnaud Soors.”
If it wins, RFC Liège will still have to negotiate with intelligence and envy next Wednesday’s trip to FC Knokke which, like Dessel in this final round, did not ask for the pro license. Gaetan Englebert and his assistant Eric Deflandre will have a full nucleus on Sunday afternoon, starting with the scorers Jeremy Perbet22 achievements this season and Michael Lallemandrather comfortable in this final round.
“I am reassured about the freshness of the core, after what I saw in Dessel, where we emerged at the end of the matchnote Gaetan Englebert. During the return, Wednesday evening, I was able to blow a few big names in the second period. We are efficient in front and very serious behind. Winning the bet to win this final round, we only have that in mind.”
As for Dender, who won the first four games of this post-championship and who also has the license, we also know very well that the turning point of the season is scheduled for this weekend. The Denderleeuw footballers also have a very solid defense, making great use of the long crosses towards the two offensive arrows which are Ridwane Mbarki et Benjamin Ngongo. And with between the two swift attackers, the pivot Esteban Casagolda Collazo is a very useful fixing point. In short, it will take a Liège at its best level to make the difference. But with such an audience, such passion on the spot, there is no doubt that Dender will evolve a little at twelve against eleven from the start…
