Anderlecht – Standard: ‘Hoefkens was fearful, he should have insisted on the offensive’

2023-12-10 22:54:02

For our consultant, Clement Tainmontthe coach of Standard poorly managed his changes during this meeting. “When Standard went ahead at 1-2, I found them superior and efficient. They were sought higher up the Anderlecht block. There were much more offensive intentions than in the Cup. But I think coachingHoofkens failed on the change of Day after day. He brings in Dewaele, a defensive change. We felt Hoefkens was perhaps a little fearful, he wanted to control the match defensively. But at that moment, the balance of power will be reversed and this will give the adversary a solution. For his part, Anderecht makes offensive changes with Amuzu and Leoni. They feel that the Standard block will go down like in the Cup. And at that moment, we see that Anderlecht is regaining control of the match.”

He pursues, “Djenepo was not very prominent in this match, as he has been for several weeks. But there are other offensive solutions. When you have gained the upper hand over your opponent, when you feel that they are suffering defensively, you must strike again. He gave arguments in favor of Anderlecht to make offensive changes. Then at the end of the match, Hoefkens brings in three players (Editor’s note: Ohio, Sowah and Balikwisha) and there we found the Standard before the equalization. I think the choices were average. Perhaps he should have emphasized the offensive nature of his team.”
