The Jupiler Pro League is three days old. There are several matches on the agenda this weekend that are being closely watched.
There are teams that have started the competition unexpectedly strongly, but there are also some teams that are in crisis and the coach’s position could be in danger.
In his press conference today, Nicky Hein spoke publicly about the crisis and his own position at Club Brugge. However, the name that is most likely to be thanked as first coach is Christian Lattanzio at STVV.
Although he has very little material to work with, he is already the bitch among Canary Islands supporters when it comes to football that he does not know how to deliver.
“I will not be shy about putting pressure on my shoulders,” STVV coach Van Limburg said at his press conference on Friday, as quoted by Het Belange. The defeat to Dender on Saturday means 0 out of 12.
Very good statistics
He no longer wants to talk about the lack of transfers. “I won’t say anything more about it, I can only check what I have available. We have talked about it a lot internally. I also understand the criticism of the Sint-Truiden fans. I can only say that I, like my players, am looking forward to the match against Dender with 100% dedication.
With his team more or less complete for ten days, Lattanzio believes success is not far away. “Against Antwerp we threatened fifteen times and hit the crossbar eight times, while Antwerp found the target seven times out of eleven attempts.”
Although Antwerp scored six goals against STVV. “But the statistics were really different and showed that we are not far from the results anymore. Only that last punch in the box should be more decisive. Furthermore, things should be better in the transition period.
It’s been a tough week for the Italian, but he still believes. “Yes, it’s been a tough week after the 6-1 win, but we’re looking forward. I keep repeating that we’re not far from our first success. However, I realise that there’s pressure. Especially on me. It’s also a bit unfair because I need more time, but hey, I’m not going to hide away.
