The frustration was great on the union side after the goalless draw against a team from Eupen who caused problems by placing their block very low.
“We played our game on the opposing side of the pitch.analyzed Felice Mazzù. They ultimately had no opportunity. On our side, we had enough situations to score a goal. I am very happy with the players from the point of view of the will and the discipline of the game, but there was too much technical waste to succeed in scoring this goal. We just couldn’t score against a team that only defended. The game could have turned out differently if we had opened the scoring with our actions in the first five minutes, but that didn’t happen.”
To start the game, Mazzù had decided to line up Lapoussin alongside Millan, establishing Mitoma in the left lane. A choice that did not allow the team to score a goal, for the fifth time this season, even if the T1 of Brussels did not want to put the blame on the absence of the Undav-Vanzeir duo.
“It would be too easy to say it’s because of their absence and that would diminish the merit of the other players who have done the job. When you count less playing time, it’s less obvious in the rhythm, in the tempo and from a confidence point of view. I’m happy with the runs, the desire and the attitude shown by the attackers. By gaining confidence, they can only improve.”
Fan support
Rare fact this Saturday afternoon: for the first time since the start of the championship, the Union has chained two home games without winning.
“It’s true that we have the support of several thousand people, but the results are not as good as on the move.advanced Mazzu. One of the reasons is to be found in the positioning of the adversaries. They come almost to take a point and that is enough for them. In this case, it is up to us to create breaches which we managed but without the last gesture allowing us to score a goal.
