It is that Vincent Janssen is a super professional or he would have outpaced his coach, Mark van Bommel. After Owen Wijndal’s red card, he was sacrificed to make way for Ritchie De Laet. And that was not to his liking. However, his coach had a striking explanation for it.
Janssen’s frustration was visible on his face. Understandable, since he was the best man on the field at the time. We thought he was being taken to the side because he already had a yellow card to his name and Van Bommel did not want to take the risk of falling with nine.
But that was not what was going on in the Antwerp coach’s head. “No, the yellow card had nothing to do with it. It was already in my head to change him at half time anyway.”
Please? Janssen dominated the Anderlecht midfield. “Look, Vincent is super important to us. But to know what’s going on, you have to know what happens during the week,” Van Bommel said mysteriously.
The Dutchman now sees the gap to Anderlecht increasing to nine points, which is a lot. “But I am absolutely not throwing in the towel yet. I have never done that in my life. This way we are able to win many more games.”
“If you dominate Anderlecht on the Anderlecht field, you are capable of a lot. Did I not switch to a five-man defense too quickly? At such a moment you try to keep a grip on the match and see how the opponent is standing. Afterwards you might say it was wrong, but there was a reasoning behind it.”
