“At the beginning we were playing too slowly. In the first half they can lead 2-0 but well… There has been a lot of stress in the last two weeks but I think we deserve to be in the 8 best teams in Belgium. Now we will give our all in Playoffs 2”, declared Bernd Storck after the meeting.
The visitors’ football hasn’t been flashy at the play-offs but Storck doesn’t want to hear about it. “We shouldn’t think negatively now. The top 8 has been reached and the whole club is happy. With a team like Genk, you have 20 good players. There are 14 internationals and four players who will soon be taking part in the FIFA Cup. world. It’s also my job to raise every player to a good level so that they can have such an experience, and not just for the 11 possible starting players. It’s also the philosophy of the club to give chances to the players. So it’s sometimes difficult to find a balance. I can’t change 10 players every week, but of course I have to find a compromise,” concluded the Genk coach.
