"Professional enough to deal with that"

INTERVIEWS Antwerp is a physical team to play against. How did Fred Rutten handle his match preparation? And is his team ready for the physical game of Antwerp?


The coach did not want to say much about his preparation: "If I tell you now, the opponent would be happy. We have been working a whole week to prepare my players so that they are ready for the physical football of Antwerp. "

Antwerp is known for its heavy crowd. Is not the coach a little bit jealous of that? "Jealous, not really no, I've also experienced the opposite, and it's true that it can have a positive effect on driving the home team, but I'm counting on my players being professional enough to handle with it. "
