Van Heisbrouck and Rimmer clearly disagree, a painful misunderstanding after the press conference

Hein Vanhaezebrouck isn’t going to be good friends with Brian Rimmer anytime soon. The two had different visions of the game and Hein clearly showed that. After the press conference, Rimmer left immediately.

Rimmer’s analysis focused primarily on his team. “We are fifty percent responsible for today’s poor game,” Rimmer said. “It was a disappointing day for my team.” “I think our defeat is deserved, but it’s our fault. We just gave it up.”

“If we had ambitions, it wasn’t the standard we should expect. We didn’t show up to fight. Yet Gent was only dangerous on the tables. We lost to ourselves. Yes, there were frustrations, but I prefer them reacting with my feet. After that it was quiet. You might be more angry.”

If you want to call this counters, that’s fine

During this explanation, I saw Vanhaezebrouck’s face getting darker and darker. Something was brewing. “Yeah, look, we use high pressing. If the opponent doesn’t let you play, the level isn’t good. That’s normal.”

“We had more control in the second half,” Hein continued. “We lost one big chance, but on the other hand we had a lot. Including twice on the post. When I heard there were only counters… when you hit in the opponent’s half and pull the ball away… if you want to call that counter, Good with me!”

After the press conference, Rimmer immediately ran away, while Vanheisbrouck wanted to shake his hand. The Ghent coach’s face said a lot … Then it turned out to be a misunderstanding, because Rimmer had to hurry to the bus. Apologies have been sent.
