Vanden Stock: "Benfica are afraid of us"

One day after the game against Benfica, we know the opinions of Franky Vercauteren en Roger Vanden Stock about the chances of Anderlecht. They both are faithful, and also the players stay calm.


"1-0 is a difficult result", said Franky Vercauteren. "We can still qualify us, but it will be dangerous. Is this a missed chance? Yes, if you look back now, it was. But we would be disappointed if we didn't qualify."

"The reaction of the players was: yes! But you can feel that this is a dangerous result. But I'm still faithful."

Roger Vanden Stock asked the players to play a good match after the defeat against Mouscron. "I woke up with a good feeling", said the Anderlecht-chairman.

"We proved in the second half that we can play great football. If you can hold a 1-0 in front of 60.000 fans of Benfica, then that's a great achievement. We can be faithful for the second match."

"Our chances are higher than before the match. I think Benfica are afraid of us now. We had many chances Tuesday. We are better than Benfica, end of story."
