After its incredible season and its magnificent series against Genk, Bruges, Anderlecht and Antwerp, the Union has not managed to display the same consistency.
Since this impressive 10/12 against the big guys, the Unionists have lost against Saint-Trond and lost feathers against Eupen and Ostend last Friday. Opposite, Bruges is on a series of six consecutive victories, allowing it to return to five units of the teammates of Deniz Undav.
Qualified for the playoffs 1, at the gates of Europe and not far from a historic title, can the Unionists experience a certain form of nervousness?
Present on the set of La Tribune, Cécile De Gernier make a statement. “It’s a team that is no longer used to losing. Last year, they won everything. The same this season when we did not expect them. But when you are no longer used to losing losing, there is something that makes you nervous and becomes frustrating. Over the last few months, it’s complicated. They haven’t known that for a long time. There is something to learn to manage.
For Thomas Chatelle, Felice Mazzu absolutely wanted to pocket the three points at home against Ostend. “It was a momentum. He wanted to mark the occasion by being sure to be first at the end of the classic phase to secure a European place”.
