The way Westerlo – Genk added time caused a lot of ink. Wouter Vrancken does not understand the criticism he is receiving.
The actors who took part in the football simulation in the last minutes of Westerlo – Genk will not have come out of it any better. If the Campinois did not wait to dismiss Rik De Mil, Wouter Vrancken should also be sanctioned, just like two players.
In Het Nieuwsblad, the Limburg coach does not hide his incomprehension: “I only did one thing during the end of the match: made my players understand that we were in Playoffs 1 with this score of 1-1. What else should I have done? Make them attack ten against eleven?” he wonders.
Vrancken reacts, Genk too
Before continuing: “A Westerlo, the camera angle from the main stand is very low, which allows you to see perfectly what is said and done on the two benches. On this point, we clearly see that there has been no contact between the two camps. We were constantly busy with our own team, trying to achieve our own goal.”
He affirms that the club does not intend to stop there: “I have difficulty understanding this proposal (3 suspension matches, including 2 effective). There are people from the club who are working on the appeal. For the rest , I’ll see what happens.”
Not the best circumstances to start these Playoffs. Especially since Racing is currently in last place in this mini championship with 24 points, 9 less than the Union.
