Vanhaezebrouck: "We played with fear"

INTERVIEWS Hein Vanhaezebrouck started his press conference after the match with congratulations to Claude Makelele. "I am impressed by the guts and football of Eupen, which you normally expect from Anderlecht, but we were shocked."


"We are not going to look at the Europa League for the result against Eupen, the players were physically ready, and even then, when you hear that you have the chance to get closer to Genk and Bruges, you just give everything you have. I do not think it was fatigue, we were just afraid to play, "Vanhaezebrouck is hard at his analysis.

"And when you start to play football with fear, you get hits," continues the coach, "With us they start to hide themselves when they're under pressure. There was a serious lack of guts. Unfortunately, our goal fell quite late, because in the second half we dominated. If that goal had fallen a little earlier, we might still have had a draw or even the three points."
