Anderlecht also won the second leg of the Conference Tournament against Albanian KF Laçi. The distinguished Benito Raman and Jani Verchatterin were satisfied thereafter.
Benito Raman was very active in the first hour. “Yes, I’m happy with my performance, although I should have scored. But I was tired, and I couldn’t frame the ball well. I played five games in a short space of time, and I’m not used to it anymore. But the situation is improving. I try to put a lot of pressure, They brought me here to help others. At first it was difficult: new players, a new environment. But the last two games have gone better and I will continue to grow in the next matches. Four years in Germany made me stronger, and here I can become one of the best players in the league. It’s It’s up to me to show it.”
Vershatrin: “80 percent”
Jerry Vershatern scored the second goal. “I was looking forward to it and scored a goal: good. I saw the place and started walking. I got the ball well in the foot and had enough speed to dribble the keeper. These are fun matches, especially if you win the first leg 3-0. Then you can check. I started the season well. , but I still need to get stronger physically. I’m at 80 per cent and I can do better. We will grow as a team too: the longer we play together, the better.”
Kompany: “Now we have to go get results”
Coach Vincent Kompany was somewhat satisfied. “The first half was good, we scored and didn’t miss any chances. Because of the good situation, we made some substitutions in half time, and then you lose some mechanics. But we still created chances.”
The level could be better. “We have to go step by step. Last season we had a lot of players on loan, and we are gradually changing that. We need to build a new axis and we need some time. We are building on what went well last season, usually from a four-man defense.” But we have new players to integrate. Now we have to go get results. But we are already a little further from last season at the beginning.”
Vitesse Arnhem may be waiting in the next round. “This is another level, with players with many qualities. There will be more pressure on our players, but it is a nice poster for the fans.”
Next weekend against Circle Brugge, Kompany will be hoping to get Zirkzee back. “He had quadriceps problems. He is a good player, we can use him.”
