BATE - RSCA : some reactions

Gazet van Antwerpen collected some reactions with Besnik Hasi, Aad De Mos and Aimé Antheunis.


Besnik Hasi, assisent coach of Anderlecht, visited BATE already and thinks the circumstances favourable:
"From the stand it seemed a very good pitch", says Hasi in Gazet van Antwerpen. "Also the weather seams better than expected. No heat or cold wave, but simply Belgian weather. They give 17, 18 degrees and a bit rain. Ideal soccer weather."


Ex-Anderlechttrainer Aad De Mos pleads for the attack:
"Jacobs must choose directly for the surprise attack, hound up those Belorussians as from the first minute as crazy persons. They must score as soon as possible the first goal.

"With a fast 0-1 you get wings and there could come doubts at BATE", De Mos continues. "Footballers from the Eastern Bloc get fast confused, if something happens outside normal, then they will start looking at each other and there will start to get panic amongst them. There lies the chance for Anderlecht."


Another old coach of Anderlecht, Aimé Anthuenis, also gave his opinion concerning the match against BATE Borisov.
"The chances are 50-50, I still see Anderlecht pass at the very last moment", thus Anthuenis.

"The past has already proven that, if they have stand there they stood there also. I know the club, the technical staff and the management board are preparing the players", knows Anthuenis.

"If Anderlecht wants to make a chance, Jacobs must play with his best team. This means as much as possible European maturity. Biglia and Deschacht must therefore start. They know stress with Anderlecht."
