And the Limburg train, it thundered on. Racing Genk waltzed over Zulte Waregem on Sunday evening. Bryan Heynen (25) helped his teammates to a smooth 1-4 win with two goals, although coach Vrancken praised all his players. “Everyone thinks along in our principles.”
“It went very well in the first half. In the second half we really wanted to, but we didn’t always find the solutions. We can certainly be satisfied with a 1-4 final score”, Brian Heynen told de Gaverbeek. “Those out there are focusing very hard on what needs to be done in the field and they show it. Wouter (coach Vrancken, red.) lays very clear accents and everyone picks it up well. His assistants also convey his message well to the group. Everything is very clear to everyone what needs to be done at what time. Then it’s up to us to bring that onto the field.”
Heynen actually scored twice: first from the spot and just before the break with a cunning shot between goalkeeper and post. “My scoring role? I was still laughing with it Patrik (Hrosovsky, red.). If I wanted to do better than last season, I had to score a hat trick. It has become two, so I can be happy.”
Detail critique
Happy, that was also coach Wouter Vrancken. “My players did not only excel in the fun things about football”, the Genk coach stated. “Even in putting pressure on and reclaiming the ball, everyone gave it their all. Without one exception, and then you see a team getting stronger and stronger. Because that enthusiasm ignites and then you can even set aside a strong opponent – I think this Zulte Waregem might be the best team we’ve played against – in this way. We conceded the goal too easily and brought less quality after the 1-4, but that is detail criticism.”
Also nice: the development of young people like Nemeth and El Khannouss. “It is wonderful that players who were second or third choice last season are now making good again”, concluded Vrancken. “Everyone contributes to our principles. That’s why I didn’t doubt Nemeth for a second after his strong preparation, who also made an impression as the first defender.”(mg)
