Read below all the reactions after the draw between Club Brugge and RSC Anderlecht.
Ivan Leko: "We missed that touch extra"
"It was a match in which a lot happened. We started very well and completely dominated the first twenty minutes. We played three good chances together, but you know you then have to score to create a good feeling. We didn't do that and then what happens so often in soccer happened: one team dominates, but one counterattack goes in and changes everything in terms of self-confidence. It makes them feel that something is possible."
"We definitely wanted to avoid that and so we tried to score immediately after halftime, but on the first counter-attack it was back on target. I missed that extra touch in the second half. It's also not easy to create many chances when the opponent is camping in front of the goal with nine men. But it's still a disappointment, because we wanted more. On the other hand, when you fall behind twice, you also have to be happy with a point."
"It wasn't our best match. There were definitely things to learn lessons from. For example, we swallow goals far too easily. We take a lot of risks and I like that: taking the initiative, having possession of the ball, forcing a lot of chances, applying a lot of pressure. But then you know you also give away space. I don't lose sleep over it, but we have to do better defensively, especially with an eye on the playoffs."
"Tresoldi is doing everything he can to succeed. He lives for soccer 24/7: giving everything at training, watching his diet, doing yoga, going to bed early, you name it. On top of that, he is also tremendously good at training in terms of energy and pressing. He is excellent on the ball, has a good click with the midfield, can put pressure constantly and has an excellent nose for goals. Someone who lives for his sport like that will reap the benefits sooner or later."
Simon Mignolet: "Tresoldi is doing very well"
"We pushed to get more out of it than an equalizer. We certainly had more ball possession, but they were dangerous on the counter. Just before the equalizer they even had a chance to finish it off. You have to win at home, but unfortunately that doesn't happen. Tresoldi is doing very well, let him continue like that."
Hans Vanaken: "We did everything we could to score the equalizer"
"If you look at the positive soccer, we deserved to win today. Of course, when you fall behind twice against a team that thinks primarily defensively, it's tough. We did everything we could to score the equalizer, but unfortunately we missed another big chance to win. So if one team deserved to win, maybe it was us."
"They also had some chances in the conversion, of course with our game there is that risk. Fortunately Simon played a good game and kept us straight there. Anderlecht kept the center closed, so our danger came mainly from the flanks. If they focus on me and Stanković in the center, we know there will be chances through Tzolis and Forbs anyway."
Aleksandar Stanković: "Draw is not enough"
"It was a difficult match for us. From the beginning we were able to put Anderlecht under pressure, which created quite a few chances, but in spite of that we fell behind twice. Anderlecht poked as many goals out of two chances and of course we hadn't counted on that."
"I agree that in the second half things went a little less well, but Anderlecht's fielding also had to do with that. After they went ahead 1-2, they pulled back even more and it became even harder than before for us to find a hole in their fortified defense."
"Actually, it's always the same in the Belgian league: every team waits for us with a double belt of defenders to then try to get out on the counter, which earned Anderlecht two goals."
"Despite the fact that we were able to come back from a deficit twice, we are still not satisfied with the 2-2, because that draw is not enough, especially if you have seen the course of play in this match. Actually, we can't blame ourselves, because we worked very hard to win this topper, but it really didn't go our way today."
