VISTA! The 25th match in the Jupiler Pro League belongs to the past and there is a lot on cards. Thus, Club Brugge and Anderlecht are not further than a draw and AA Gent did perhaps the worst thing of all by with 1-2 lose of Mouscron. Michel Louwagie, the manager of the Buffalo, gave it in VISTA!, our voetbalwebcast in collaboration with Proximus, Sports, text, and explanations of the painful defeat of his team. He was joined by HLN journalist and Gent-watcher Rudy Nuyens and Proximus Sports analyst Wim De Coninck. Niko Lainé led as a moderator everything in the right direction.
AA Gent had a very good opportunity. After the 1-2-defeat against ‘giant killer’ Mouscron fell to the Buffalo’s off the top six. Of course came the defeat also Louwagie hard. “Especially since we have a very good case could do,” he says. “I had in advance already feel that it is a very difficult match would be. After that good series and qualification for the cup final, everyone thought of ‘the will ‘ walk’. That felt with the fans and the players probably think so. But I found us with too little focus to the match starting. I was also very nervous for the race.”
Vadis Odjidja gave to know that he is the outcome of the Anderlecht-Zulte Waregem did not know before the start of the match. “The coach must see that he players are inform or not. It is not up to us to 5 or 10 minutes before the match the results.”
That the place in the first six expensive, needless to say. Louwagie will not speak of pressure, but rather of decompression. “In those 29 years, I have already several times seen that after a very good period of time, suddenly feel that they think it all will go. But well, maybe better now that decompression within a few matches. In the Belgian league you can from everyone losses. I think the mindset was not there to say ‘we are going to them here oppeuzelen’. But I am convinced that it will be ok. There is now a signal has come. If we are not full go for it, it will not succeed.”
