You will be praised for years and now suddenly you can’t put a dent in a packet of butter. Hans Vanaken saw his team humiliated by Benfica…
After the hammer blow against KV Oostende, this was once again a heavy blow. “This comes in hard,” Vanaken said at VTM. “The way we ended our campaign here is disappointing. We need to get out of this momentum as soon as possible. This is really not fun anymore.”
The European campaign started so well, but ended on a minor note. “It is easy to blame everything on the coach. We have also made mistakes”, Vanaken put his hand in his own bosom. “We now have to tackle this as 1 team.”
The fact that Parker put Buchanan at the center did raise some questions. “He tries to look for and find solutions. That is normal in this period,” he defended Parker.
