Royal Antwerp FC was unable to confirm against Union SG after the victory against Cercle Brugge. Marc Degryse therefore fears a horror scenario for the outgoing national champion.
Union SG took its first victory of the Champions’ Play-offs when we visited Royal Antwerp FC, while we were already in the fifth match. With this victory, the people of Brussels show that they are indeed still a title candidate.
Things are very difficult at Antwerp and that was already visible after five minutes against Union SG. “The match started, and I wondered out loud: ‘How on earth is Antwerp going to score here?’” said Marc Degryse in Het Laatste Nieuws.
Collective failure of Royal Antwerp FC
Vincent Janssen has not yet shown himself in these play-offs, but placing the blame solely on the striker is not correct, according to Degryse. “”Hello Balikwisha? Hello Ekkelenkamp? Hello midfielders? I was happy that Van Bommel intervened during half-time against Union and brought on an extra attacker with George. Not that it yielded much.”
Due to the defeat against Union SG, The Great Old’s play-offs are completely over. There is still something to fight for, but a terrible horror scenario is possible there. “All the pressure is now on the cup final. The scenario threatens that Antwerp will even miss European football,” concludes Degryse and they really had not counted on that at the Bosuil.
