Reactions from Standard

Also at Standard they talked about what happened to Wasyl. I immediately want to exchange a title for Wasilewski," Jovanovic said. But not all of them reacted this way (Especially Defour).


"You can’t talk about football anymore after this. I don’t even want this point after all this. It has no value," said Milan Jovanovic who was shocked as well. Football is a sport for men, but there are limits. To me, a leg, a player or a career is more important than sport. There has to be respect. You don’t want this to happen to your worst enemy."

His team mate Steven Defour reacted differently. "If ref Nzolo had reacted for a foul on me, this wouldn’t have happened," the captain says. "Anderlecht got what they asked for. We might have crossed the line once and a while, but Anderlecht did the same. Without being cautioned. That’s why I say: what Anderlecht can do, we can as well."

Trainer Laszlo Bölöni didn't want to say much about it. "I'm sad after tonight, especially because of Wasilewski’s injury. We can't blaim ourselves too much though." When the journalist of Belgacom TV wanted to show the images to Bölöni he almost exploded: "I congratulate you with your remark to bring this back up. What you didn't say is that two fouls on our players weren't taken into account. And by the way, I watch the images when I want."
