Mircea Rednic criticized his players after the second consecutive failure with 0-3: “This cannot happen”
“We had to play without an attacker and improvise, it was difficult. It was not good in the first half. We made too many mistakes. Even the experienced players missed easy passes and gave confidence to the opponents.
We made mistakes in the defensive, insisting on starting from behind, while circle the press up, it was not a good idea. Often we lose the ball and play a long, but I prefer to lose it in the middle of the field than in front of our own square.
At training, we are a very good team, but today we disappointed. Attitude, presence … I lost balls easily, I didn't react. We had some counterattacks that we could not complete, but our mistakes in the first half cannot happen.
When you make such mistakes, the opponent earns confidence. The second goal, the third goal, these were team errors. To leave the opponent alone in the 16 -meter box, this cannot happen ”said Mircea Rednic, according to Walfoot.be.
Edan Diop, Steve Ngoura and Edgaras Utkus were the signatories of the guest successes, all coming from the first half. At the break, the “Puriul” made two changes, but they did not have the expected effect.
In the second part, despite the 12 kicks to the gate of the Standard, one was a single one, the big opportunities being also next to the circles.
For the fifth consecutive time, Josue Homawoo, the former Dinamo's stop, was a fullist holder in the defensive of Standard, his evolution being described as “catastrophic” by “Le Sir”, being noted with 2 in the Belgium press.
