Not always able to create chances and often unable to complete them, the Liege Standard shared the challenge Kortrijk. A draw which does not advance things on the banks of the Meuse even if Carl Hoefkens prefers to be positive at the end of the meeting.
Abused at the start and end of the match, the default menu could they have left empty-handed? “If there’s a team that deserves to win it’s uslet go of the Liège coach straight away. I am both disappointed but also very proud of my players. We tried to play well by pressing forward. The first ten minutes were difficult but after that we showed what we could do.“
The former Bruges tactician nevertheless pointed to the problem of his people at the moment. “We lack quality in the last part of the field to finish the chances. If we do that today we easily win the gamesupports the mentor of Rouches at the microphone of the Pro League. The basis of Standard de Liège must be the mentality and the fighting spirit. We had it this Saturday. So, with a little more quality, we win this match and it’s the feeling that dominates at the final whistle.“
Between the lines, we can guess, the coach would like many more attacking players at his disposal. “It’s something noticeablewhispered Hoefkens before emphasizing the importance of assistance. Everyone was there, even the fans. There was the fighting spirit for 96 minutes. It just needs a little more quality.“
It remains to be hoped that his message will be expected by management.
