INTERVIEWS Besnik Hasi wanted his players to play very high up the pitch and above all to deprive the creative players of Sint-Truiden of the ball. It worked well during the first half but the Mauve et Blanc forgot to finish their chances.
He was happy with the RSCA’s reaction after the defeat against Westerlo a week before. He regrets that some players did not sprint enough during the first half, he points the finger at Thorgan Hazard, Mario Stroeykens and Nilson Angulo but Hasi adds that they gave a lot more after the break.
He is also not convinced that there was a hand fault by Thorgan Hazard during the penalty awarded by the referee. The Anderlecht coach reports that discussions regarding Thorgan Hazard’s contract extension are going in the right direction and that he is very important for the group.
He also noticed an evolution in his group with this victory after being behind. Mihajlo Cvetkovic brought a lot of energy when he came into the game, just like Tristan Degreef who really annoyed the opposing defenders.
Besnik Hasi concludes by declaring that reinforcement will be needed in attack during the transfer window, this player does not necessarily have to be old but he must bring speed and energy, he assures.
