Cobbaut: "It just sucks"

INTERVIEWS Elias Cobbaut was honest after the game against Moeskroen: "Showing grinta from the first minute and fighting for every ball, we missed that", said the defender. "And if we fall behind, the heads will go down."


"As everyone saw, our first half was not good, and we lose the game there", Cobbaut says in the Sporza microphone. "We have to deal with it better: show grinta from the first minute and fight for each ball, we missed it in the first half, but why I don't know, because at training there was grinta and there was a sharpness."

Cobbaut recognizes that the Mouscron players were not sufficiently interfered with the first two goals. "We left too much space in the first half, but it was better after half-time, but it was too late, what was said during the break. That it sucked, there's nothing more to say about that."

Is there fear in the team? "If we get a goal, the heads go down, we have to be critical to ourselves and keep our heads up, it's not because you are down 1-0, that you can not win the match anymore."

Anderlecht played in a 4-4-2, something that hardly happened under Hein Vanhaezebrouck. "But that did not play a part, everyone was already playing in this system and everyone was in his position except Najar, everyone was focused on playing it."

Another game and then the winter break. "I still want to play that match, everyone has to be focused, because we all have something to give to the supporters and to the club."

For Cobbaut it was his first full match after four months of injury. "I'm glad I'm back after such a serious injury, but you'd rather return when the team is in a good flow and wins matches."
