Displeased with intruders
“The board of Standard Liège understands the disappointment of the supporters after the recent defeats against Charleroi and AA Gent. However, it strongly condemns the intrusion of members of the Ultras Inferno group into the players’ dressing room and the intimidating behavior that was observed. These actions are unacceptable and contrary to the values of the club,” it said.
“With the Clásico approaching, Standard Liège is now fully focused on preparing the team for the match. This is the responsibility of the staff and players, to whom the board expresses its full support. The board will meet with representatives of the supporters next Wednesday and will strongly reiterate that any behavior that could disrupt the match is unacceptable and indefensible,” it said.
“Further escalation of this type of behavior would have serious and lasting consequences for the club in the short, medium and long term, with negative consequences for the club’s disciplinary reputation, image, appeal and future. In the interests of accountability and consistency, the Standard Liège board will also consult with that of RSC Anderlecht to ensure the smooth running of the Clásico and promote a culture of respectful supporters.”
“The club calls for collective responsibility and unity. The Clásico should be an opportunity to jointly be proud of the club logo and show respect for the values of Standard Liège,” it said.
