Anderlecht were knocked out of the Croky Cup by Beerschot. I say the Belgian Cup. The rest is a bag of crisps.
I read the rest on Monday, at the chip shop, in order. According to DH, Vitor Bruno had never been so criticised since he arrived. He is blamed for his constant changes in the starting eleven. Before the match in Poland, against Jagiellonia Białystok, he said he would not change course.
Then this sentence. “I was not born mauve, it is not the club of my heart, but it is difficult not to think about it every second.”
I read it again. It is honest. That is what troubles me. In 1980, a manager did not talk about his heart. He talked about the pitch, or he said nothing. You did not know whether he loved the club. You knew whether he won on Sunday.
He also said Anderlecht have not won the Cup for 17 or 18 years. 17 or 18. I’m not criticising. I’m comparing. In my day, we would have looked it up in the weekly. It is in my pocket.
And the defender Giulian Biancone said that talking about a crisis “proves the size of this club”. Before, a crisis proved you had lost. Now it proves you are big. Note that I’m not against progress. I’m against this progress.
Thinking about the club every second, Marcel, that’s the minimum. I think about the club delegate every second, and he still forgets the cards.
Freddy is right on one point. Thinking is not enough. Bruno said only Białystok mattered, not Ghent. There is a match. We will see the score in the paper. He will not change either. Well. It’s the times.
It’s true, we checked: DH Les Sports+.
