Besnik Hasi is known for his very intense coaching style, but what happened in the locker room at Bosuil exceeded even his usual standards. Adriano Bertaccini and Thorgan Hazard talk about how the tension was truly palpable.
Besnik Hasi is often very agitated along the touchline. The Anderlecht coach is renowned for his very emotional coaching, an intensity that is sometimes also felt in the locker room. Adriano Bertaccini witnessed it firsthand.
He saw Besnik Hasi completely lose his calm during the match played at Bosuil on December 21. At the break, the coach was particularly furious, his team was already 2-0 down after twenty minutes of play. Anderlecht finally managed to come back to 2-2, the final score of the match

“A fuse has clearly blown, yes”, confides Bertaccini at the microphone of the Newspaper. “There was even a bottle thrown. The coach was very angry, especially because we had a disastrous first half before reacting well after the break.”
“He didn’t understand how the difference could be so big between the two periods. The coach was right to be so furious. I would have reacted in exactly the same way in his place,” continues the Anderlecht striker. Thorgan Hazard also witnessed the scene and quickly understood that the situation was serious.
“Sometimes, when Besnik is very angry, we try to lighten the atmosphere with a joke. It happens that the coach starts laughing and the tension drops. But at Bosuil, during his muscular speech, you shouldn’t even try to smile. It was better not to joke. Otherwise, you were straight out,” adds Thorgan Hazard.
