Vanhaezebrouck Critical of Vanaken & Club Brugge Drama

Club Brugge has taken 6 out of 6 in the competition under Ivan Leko. Yet there is certainly still work to be done for blue-black. According to Hein Vanhaezebrouck, there is one factor that can still be improved.

After Club Brugge against KAA Gent, it became clear that both Ivan Leko and Rik De Mil still have areas to work on with their new team. And certainly at Club Brugge, a few shortcomings were very clear, according to Hein Vanhaezebrouck.

Hans Vanaken has a lot to worry about with the equalizer

He looked at the stagnant phases in his analysis The Newspaper: “Club defends on corners in the zone, but then you have to attack the ball in the zone in front of you,” he is crystal clear at the beginning of his speech.

“Because Vanaken gives his opponent a push instead of heading the ball away, the ball falls into the zone behind him and Spileers is too surprised to attack the ball. For me, the responsibility for the Ghent equalizer lies with Vanaken.”

Club Brugge’s corners are an eyesore

There is also – or certainly – work to be done on an offensive level. In recent weeks, the analyst has been critical of the fact that Hans Vanaken was responsible for the corner kicks. “Now that I saw Vetlesen kick them, I understand why…”

“That was really dramatic. But the stationary phases have been a drama for some time. That was already the case under Hayen and Leko will have to do something about it quickly. Yesterday Vanaken kicked a free kick in an attractive spot in the wall. They have to get to work with it.”
