Genk vs Anderlecht: Fan Reactions & Saliba Blame

Degreef: “No one gave their best and I think we can obviously all do better. I would have liked to help my team in a different way. I had to make the difference too far from the opponent’s goal. We were good defensively but we must be better offensively. We will refocus for Thursday’s match and qualify for the final.”

Llansana: “The tempo was not good and we never got into the rhythm of the match. In the second half, we failed to be dangerous and we paid for it by conceding two goals. We tried to win today without thinking about Thursday’s match, but that was not enough. We will concentrate on Thursday and try to win the match.”

El Ouahdi: “In my duel with Degreef, it was a very good opposition. But I had the public behind me and that helped a lot. I had a frustrating start to the match but I managed it well. Sor is very fast and he made a great comeback to score a very good goal. We had a great match and we are much better since the arrival of the new coach. We are very motivated to get this place in the top 6.”

Still: “We didn’t manage to put the pressure we wanted and keep the ball as we wanted. But it had to remain zero to zero because there was a logical foul on Saliba. We’re still incomprehensible. We played better at the start of the second half, but that wasn’t enough. We weren’t focused on Thursday’s match but fully on today’s. Thursday is a long time away. I haven’t received any offer of a draw leaves and I am focused on my work at Anderlecht.”

Hayen: “It was good today. The players played very well and I am very happy with their performance. The content was very interesting and we dominated the whole match. I think we could have been even more efficient up front, but these are just details today. I have no idea what happened, if there was a mistake or not.”
