The Buffalos coach explained to the press about the case of his goalkeeper, very close to leaving this winter. He also criticized Lawrence Visser’s refereeing during the match against Eupen.
After the victory against Eupen (0-1), Hein Vanhaezebrouck first explained – in remarks relayed by The last news – his decision to keep Davy Roef in the cages, despite the fact that Sinan Bolat did not end up leaving for Fenerbahce during the winter transfer window.
“You have to make a choice. (…) You shouldn’t say that just a minute before the game. It’s good that he found out in time. Last week, I only had one sole caretaker and he’s done well. So why should I put him out?”
“Imagine saying to your boss, ‘I’m not coming today because I’m applying for a job at another newspaper.’ Will he say the next day that you can do the biggest story in the newspaper? ?” he explained.
He also showed his dissatisfaction with the refereeing of Lawrence Visser, which he considers to have disadvantaged his team. “The red card (to Samoiseeditor’s note) was not correct at all.”
“It wasn’t even a foul. The Eupen player tries to play the ball, Samoise blocks it. When you block a ball, of course you have to put your foot back on the ground. By doing this, he stepped on the foot of the opponent. The VAR did not intervene, because he had the same bad images as the referee, who stood 30 meters from the action, as did the cameras. To make such a decision at a stage where the players stand one meter apart… There is no intensity, because Samoise does not run. It can never be a foul. And then the referee gives red. We are dealing number one in Belgium, right?”
