Nicky Hayen picked up two yellow cards in quick succession in last weekend’s match. As a result, he is suspended for the match against Cercle Brugge. But it could have been worse, Hein Vanhaezebrouck noted.
To start with, the entire panel felt that Nicky Hayen’s exclusion was harsh. Here and there reference has already been made to the case of Romeo Vermant, who also received two yellow cards in five seconds of arbitration at Westerlo.
But the rules after an exclusion are clear: a coach may no longer appear in the neutral zone. “Once you’re out, you’re not allowed back in,” says Hein Vanhaezebrouck. He had already experienced that in the past.

And Hayen did join in the celebration after the match, which is actually not allowed. “Normally you can get an extra sanction for that,” Vanhaezebrouck noted with a smile. Although it will cool without blowing.
Too heavy for the laundry basket?
The fact that Nicky Hayen is not on the bench against Cercle Brugge could be a disadvantage, although they realize that Extra Time also that Jonckheere is doing a good job as an assistant and should therefore also be able to make it on Sunday.
Hayen himself is not allowed to have contact, because that is monitored. “In a laundry basket like Mourinho? They once made a joke about that at Ghent, but I never did it myself. They wouldn’t have gotten me into the stadium: too heavy,” someone laughed.
