As usual, the journalists and consultants present on the set of La Tribune this Monday evening returned to the football events of the weekend, including the meeting between Charleroi and La Gantoise which ended in a draw. But in this case it’s not so much the game and the result that interested the team of the show but rather the overall situation of the Zebras in recent weeks.
Phillip Albert returns first to the departure of Shamar Nicholson for Spartak Moscow : “Since he left there have been zero goals scored and one point from nine, and then ahead of that move up the standings. It’s going to be tough but I hope they finish in the top eight regardless.”
Thierry Luthers nevertheless insists on the fact that they manage their club well: “Their finances are healthy, they have good networks but it’s true that if we look at the football performances against La Gantoise this weekend, there is no winner except Anderlecht. [qui creuse l’écart pour le top 4, ndlr].“
Philippe reacts to Thierry’s remark: “With the new stadium looming, it’s going to take a competitive team to fill the 20,000 spots! If they play between eighth and fourteenth every year it’s going to be tough.”
Stéphane Streker he puts himself in the place of a supporter for whom the healthy finances of the club are not the only important thing: “I can imagine it’s a bit hard to see the players, including Nicholson who scored the goals, go away. At the same time, it’s also a club that has the genius to go and get players that we don’t know and which sometimes very advantageously replace regretful departures. The worst was with Victor Osimhen [parti au LOSC, ndlr] but I think that’s the condition of the Carolo supporter and that he has accepted the way the club works.”
