- in advance, 7:47 PM. Vanhaezebrouck: “We don’t stand a chance”. Ghent coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck combatively boarded the plane to Turkey. “We will be ready. Although I would have preferred to have traveled with a better starting position. Now we almost certainly have to win or make it in the penalties.” Ghent has not yet managed to win a European away match this season. “It’s time to achieve a result that is worthwhile outdoors,” says Vanhaezebrouck. “That is also necessary if we want to continue.” If Ghent struggles past Basaksehir, it will be in the quarterfinals. “And maybe you will get another feasible card against you in that round. Before you know it, you will be in the semi-finals. Then the rest will not be that far away”, the Ghent coach dreams aloud. “But we can’t get too far ahead. Let’s hope we play a good match tomorrow, then we have a chance to win.” .
