Against Cercle Brugge, Ostend swallowed the 1-2 in the final phase, a hard blow for the group of players. “This is a painfully sour defeat, I can’t be positive,” said experienced Brecht Capon after the game.
“The results are bad, but we cannot be blamed for commitment. There is a lot of good will and struggle, at least with the majority of the players”, Capon criticized a few teammates.
After a 0 out of 18, the draft is in Ostend, but Capon does not think about giving up. “I fight every minute for Ostend. That is very normal, because we are paid for it. Some are overpaid here, but that is another discussion.”
Ostend is in 17th place, averting relegation will be difficult. Capon realizes that. “I will do my very best until the bitter end, but I will not make a difference. It may say enough that I am still on the field so often, I do not think that is logical.”
Meanwhile, the supporters are angry with the board and general manager Gauthier Ganaye and coach Dominik Thalhammer also has to pay for it. For example, during the match against Cercle Brugge, the name of his predecessor, Yves Vanderhaeghe, was chanted.
