“Super. We are really happy,” crossed the Ghent midfielder from shore. “It looked a long time bad, but after a pep talk in the interval there was again clutch in. The second half has practically only on their half of play. The pressure remained but to persist, so she had to at some point break. Over the two games considering we have more quality than shown Ostend. ’t, eventually the smallest details that make it a must-have.”
Or there is pressure from the Ghent boiler? “The cup final is there, but it still needs to be won, hey. Now we are going to have a good feeling for the race of Sunday (against Club Brugge, ed). But first ensure that the legs are back a little with want. That good feeling will Sunday translate on the field. We had not have won was the match against Club almost lost.”
Time for a party to have the Buffalo’s not. “No, I think the trainer that also will not allow it (laughs). We had two halves of very good football, then maybe. I think the fans will party for us. Hopefully we can after the match in Brussels is a party”, decision Odjidja with a touch.
