The payment of wages put some balm in the hearts of Hurlus and avoided a sanction of a withdrawal of three points. But the concern remains. The situation will remain oppressive as long as a buyer is not there. It will not be Strive Football who denied an interest by the voice of Roland Louf. Mandel rather wanted to probe the IEG on the infrastructure in case the rise in 1B aspired by the Flanders club would become a reality in the near future. Other avenues (in Dubai and France) are still being considered to increase the club’s capital. He even whispers that Gérard Lopez could always be present. But with a more minority role…
But make way for the sportsman this Sunday. “The urge is there after five weeks, assures José Jeunechamps. But the head is not yet empty. It is therefore more difficult for the legs. We have 48 hours left to try to regain mental freshness, which will have repercussions on physical freshness. We had a good session on Thursday. It was harder on Friday. But it was exhausting training, because it was tactical. We got to the heart of the matter. But we lack benchmarks.”
Comment replacer Lucas Ribeiro ?
Because number 216 has not played since Deinze on December 18. Not even in friendly. “I’ve never experienced that. We didn’t even know how to compete with amateurs… Fortunately, the team changes little. It only knew the departure of Ribeiro. We must not find any automatisms. In training, we worked on new things so that we were no longer just a transition team. It was working well until last Tuesday. But we weren’t able to test against other opponents. We also have to find the solutions to replace Lucas. This will go through the collective or the emergence of another player. Thomas Robert and Timothy Robert joined the group because they have qualities. But here too, we did not see them in games against adults. The passage of young people is already difficult. But it is even more so with the situation.”
Despite everything, the screaming group does not want to let go. “January and February are months of truth. If we recover well, we can dream of other horizons. But we must remain humble and realistic with everything that is happening. First of all, we want to keep Mouscron at the professional level. This can reassure a possible buyer. But it will above all be a source of pride to have done so despite the context. We try to reassure the players by telling them what we know, without talking about gibberish. We hope that the cinema will not start again in 15 days because it’s tiring. Especially since we are always paid in the end. I have difficulty understanding this management. It creates damage. But we have reached an agreement with those who are there. If we get involved, we will do it thoroughly.”
