Jan Vertonghen felt that Anderlecht did not fully get into the game against Standard. This was due to the high pressure from the visitors, but also due to “the very bad field”.
“You shouldn’t just say that when you lose, also when you win,” the captain started.
“A solution must be found. As Toby (Alderweireld) and Mark van Bommel said to STVV after the match.”
The Antwerp duo then grumbled about the artificial grass at Stayen. “That had nothing to do with their result. It just is.”
“It can be said, also about our own field. Anderlecht is a top team, a top club. And that requires a top field. That is not the case at the moment.”
Mats Rits also made critical noises during half-time, coach Brian Riemer did not deny the problem.
“Everyone in this club knows that our field does not reach the standard we want to achieve. We want to play good football and you need a good field for that.”
“Unfortunately, we are in the middle of winter. Grass has to grow and we need Santa Claus for that, I’m afraid. Everyone is doing what they can, but we have to be patient.”
