Westerlo coach: “I played against one of the best teams”
Wouter Franken (Coach Racing Genk): “We played efficiently and provided good services. I can’t help but congratulate my boys on their performance. I wasn’t expecting we would be here, but let’s not look too far ahead.”
Jonas de Roek (Westerlo coach): “We played against one of the best teams. Genk plays with a lot of confidence, and the team needs few chances. We were always a step behind and lost a lot of duels. Because we didn’t start with the right mentality. After the break things improved until we swallowed the red card.”
Brian Heinen (Captain Racing Genk): “It was fun on the field. The energy rolled in from the stands. Then it’s good to score a lot of goals and win by a big margin.”
Igor Vetokeli (Westerlo player): “You can lose, but not this way. It all starts with commitment and mentality. We’ve been a bit good. We broke down a lot and didn’t push that much.”
We’ve been a little too good.
