Much-discussed moment in STVV – Anderlecht yesterday. Christian Brüls hoeed Yari Verschaeren hard after the break. Despite an intervention by the VAR, Nicolas Laforge did not draw a red card. Although that did not get him a word of thanks from Brüls: “The referee was ridiculous, maybe he had to stand out a bit.”
It was the Eleven Sports interviewer who confronted Brüls with his serious mistake afterwards. Although the German-speaking Belgian showed little sense of guilt.
“Sometimes the frustration is there,” he laughed. “If this might be red, then I don’t know what other players should get for some mistakes. I just went a little harder, because Verschaeren sometimes has to feel that there is still an opponent on the field. I had no intention of killing him anyway.” injured and even hit him with the knee.”
