Van Holsbeeck: "A draw wouldn't be too bad"

Van Holsbeeck and captain Deschacht have declared that a draw in their upcoming Europa League match against Dinamo Zagreb in Zagreb would be a reasonable result considering Anderlecht's personnel problems due to injury.

Herman Van Holsbeeck said, "We must try to play well and at the very least take a point. A draw in our first [Europa league] match would not be a bad result.

The manager continued on saying that the absence of the two injured veterans Polak and Wasilewski will make things difficult, "It will be very interesting to find out where we are at in the absence of Polak and Wsilewski. Due to their absence the trainer will have to play younger players and see how their perform in the field."

Deschacht mirrored the manager's comments, "Zagreb is a strong team and deserves our respect, but we must be tenacious. We will lose if we play Zagreb the way we did against Lyon or Saint-Trond. We were too generous in those games. I hope that we will be able to learn from those errors. A draw in an away fixture in my opinion is a good result at the European level"
