RSC Anderlecht fell behind 0-2 against Union SG. Jan Vertonghen made a mistake twice when the Purple & White conceded goals.
It was a strange evening for Jan Vertonghen, against Union SG on Sunday. He made a mistake twice in Union SG’s goals, but he also scored for Anderlecht himself.
Peter Vandenbempt wants to nuance the situation a bit. “I thought the action for the 0-1 was a mistake,” said Het Nieuwsblad. Vertonghen wanted to kick the ball away hard, with the instep, while he could have parried better with the inside of the foot – the surface area is larger there.”
With Union SG’s second goal, Vandenbempt does not speak of a mistake, but of a miss by the defender of RSC Anderlecht.
“Vertonghen was not to blame, he was very unlucky when the ball bounced through the field. Speaking of the terrain: it should be in better condition at this level. It was just as bad at Eupen – even worse than in Anderlecht…”
Although Vertonghen was not his fanatic. “Vertonghen has recovered well. He completed the ninety minutes calmly, without being overly aggressive to put something right. Based on experience: well done.”
