Excluded at the time of play against the Bruges club, Marlon Fossey blames himself. This Sunday, he published on his Instagram account a message for the supporters of the Standard.
Using the expression “encouraging defeat” is never our cup of tea, but it is however what best describes the backhand suffered by the Standard against the Bruges club on Saturday evening.
Very solid for an hour, the Rouches finally bowed on the wire against the Blauw & Zwart, beaten by a goal of Romeo Vermant at the entrance to the additional time of the second period.

This Sunday, on his account Instagramhe also published a message to the attention of standard supporters, shared between the desire to defend him and the disappointment aroused by his gesture.
“Evenings like yesterday remind me of how much it is a chance to play for this club. Whether it is a red card or not, it was an imprudence on my part and I will learn the lessons. We appreciate you, the Rouches,” he wrote, in French. Scorer against Anderlecht in 2022 and decisive passer in 2023, Fossey knows what he has to do to be definitively forgiven.
