Belgian football, “The principle of equality is not respected.” Michel Louwagie complains the difference in recuperatietijd, because the Buffalo in the beginning of these play-offs each time, but two days of rest were given between their matches.

AA Gent risk with a move to the match organiser RC Genk 0 to 9. On 1 may there is the safety net of the cup final to a direct ticket for Europe to enforce, but Michel Louwagie wants the map of the play-offs will not give up. “We can’t,” says the general manager of AA Gent. “If we do that and the cup final did not win, we play not European. We must continue to aim at the places three or four, the matches of the past few days have shown that place four perfectly feasible. We have to go for the highest.”

That is also in Jess Thorup. “Of our last six races there were five good”, strictly he. “Only in Bruges, we felt that we had to do with a large titelfavoriet. Our match against Standard was perhaps the best of the six. We are the only team that has three matches to play in seven days, the Standard even had two days more to recover than we are. But we showed that we fit.”
