Union SG was not at the appointment in Jan Breydel, but will go to their own fortress Dudenpark within three weeks with a doable 2-1. Ronny Deila had to replace three important players, but that may have had something to do with the fact that Blue-Black was not intimidated this time.
Of course, it also helps if your celebrities are at the appointment. Andreas Skov Olsen stood head and shoulders above the rest. The Dane is too good for the Jupiler Pro League in that form. He realizes that, although he has to show it every week and pick out the matches in which he is often invisible.
A goal and an assist, but also just frolicking across the field. This form of Skov Olsen will make Club Brugge a lot of money again this summer. Few doubt that he will want to make that move in the coming transfer window.
Union caught on pet peeve
But what was perhaps also decisive: Club beat Union on grinta and effort. That is remarkable, because that is Alexander Blessin’s hobbyhorse. With Nilsson, Vanhoutte, Sadiki, Castro-Montes… the German has players who can and want to break through a wall.
Union usually bluffs the opponent with this. But this time there were just as many workers on the other side. Balanta, Odoi, Nielsen and Jutgla, these are boys who also have something to prove and are at the service of the team. Balanta and Nielsen in your midfield, those are two blocks of concrete.
Balanta and Nielsen, two blocks of concrete
It is more their fault that the much-vaunted midfield of the people of Brussels was not functioning. Puertas ran and encouraged, but his teammates couldn’t get through. We are not saying that Deila should play like this every week, but it is something to think about for the matches against Union.
Just look at Anderlecht, where the lightweight midfield is overrun every time by their neighbors from Forest. For example, Deila may have accidentally cracked the code – Vetlesen and Zinckernagel would have played if fit.
