Confusing Concepts Explained

During Westerlo – KAA Gent (0-0), frustration arose early in the match when Ghent temporarily played with ten players due to the injury of Maksim Paskotsi. The team had to continue without a substitute between minutes 15 and 19, because the game was not stopped.

Analyst Wesley Sonck was visibly angry about this 90 Minutes. “It was the height of not thinking about situations and leaving your coach standing there like a jerk,” he said sharply. He didn’t understand why no one kicked the ball out: “Roef had the ball and he didn’t kick the ball out.”

Sonck found it incomprehensible that no player intervened. “Not a single one of that team thinks they can shoot the ball out to play eleven against eleven. Why does no one think that?”

“I don’t understand that. Am I the dumb one or am I the person who thinks ahead in this situation?” According to him, it is simple: “Think for two seconds and think along with your coach.”
