Vandenbett: “Essner advances in resignation, Zollt Vargem should pay attention” | Jupiler Pro League

The Federation scored a black-edged victory in Charleroi: Dante Vanzer surprised everyone with a punch in the face of his opponent.

As far as I’m concerned, Vanzer is still the perfect son-in-law, not suddenly becoming a dirty player or bandit. He is still a friendly, sympathetic and down-to-earth boy who is also an athlete indeed.

Anyway, he made a huge mistake in that moment and he should be punished for that, that’s how life goes.

We tend to be a little more lenient just out of sympathy for the kind of Vanzeir and the great story Union writes. But of course this is not possible.

His clean criminal record is definitely an argument in determining punishment, the same for citizens in ordinary life. But there are no mitigating circumstances for the act itself, even if they were still trying to bring it up in Union.

No possibility of extra pressure in the spotlight, or not frustrating a number of lower performances and a missed penalty against STVV last week, or not the fact that he had to take so much as a striker and wanted to break free, could be a slap in the face. justified.

As far as I’m concerned, what Vanzer did compares to the incident with Gilles de Belde a while ago. This was something different, for this matter, the consequences for the victim.

I remember a punch from Standard 9’s Mehdi Carcela years ago to OHL’s Björn Ruytinckx after a terrible tackle, with Carcela tore his ankle ligaments and Ruytinckx still laughing a little.

The FA has taken this extenuating circumstance into account: the minimum penalty is 4 weeks. I would say: we rely on wise judgment and can be separated from ethical considerations regarding exemplary functions… This is not necessary.

A thought period for Vanzer after which he could still make the Federation Champion.

The first pursuer Antwerp lost at home to KV Mechelen, a defeat that came to coach Brian Priske. Disappointment after a very good game from both sides and many chances.

Antwerp deserved better than defeat, but if you give goals and do not risk yourself or do not even shoot between columns, you lose.

Briske was unable to keep his team at a consistent level throughout an entire season. Sometimes they are really very good – so they also have an essence of quality – but there is no constant individually or collectively.

Some poor performances like against STVV, in Kortrijk – albeit with one man less – and in Ghent, 1 on 9 at home, crucial players like Nainggolan – the star of the team – who haven’t quite reached their level… Then you have a problem.

Brisky might say at the press conference “he doesn’t care what the union does,” but his boss does. He wants to become a champion and play the Champions League next season. He did not invest in players like Nainggolan, Baliquicha and Engels, to be 10 points behind Union.

The leader is already rubbing his hands, because he is now playing against Eupen and the chasers Antwerp and Club Brugge are playing against each other. Who knows, Al Ittihad will be even more assertive in the lead next week.

Brisk was sharp, but what about Luca Elsner. They are “pretending,” the Standard coach said, after another defeat to KV Oostende.

Such was the speech of the coach who no longer knows, who is in his wits, who has tried everything, who has drafted, struck and surveyed all potential players, and must conclude for the thousandth time that the Standard players cannot bring themselves to it. To play football for the paintball club.

He said, “They act like they give it all, and soon they think they’ve done a great job, that they have done themselves a disservice, but that’s not at all true.”

This is definitely devastating. He seemed angry, helpless, and a bit resigned as well. After all, it is the coach’s speech that he realizes he has failed. He came to the record high with high expectations and already seemed to be taking some progress on what could be a layoff.

It is somewhat similar to Mbaye Leye. There was also a year ago in Ostend at the start of the second play-off with a 6-2 defeat. It’s now been a year and nothing has really changed in Standard.

Elsner himself quit KV Kortrijk – that wasn’t nice at all – because he thought he would end up at a big club with more chances in Liege, but that’s frustrating.

In Kortrijk they are having a great time and still staring at the playoffs and at Liège a sad tragedy.

The Standard is still slightly above relegation football, but Zolt Vargem should really pay attention after 5-0 against Kortrijk. Fans can no longer hold onto Francky Dury.

The problems remained without my league: sometimes Zolt Wargem plays really good football – last week they caused Anderlecht in the second half – but they always hit the ball with ease.

They should be happy that they have strikers with Vossen and Janu, or else they will be separated at the bottom next to Beerschot. 61 goals against it already, so you inevitably fall to the bottom.

Zolt Vargem has to be really careful. They still have three points ahead of Seraing and vaulting competitions. Seraing also has a very good makeup match, but in the realm of AA Gent.

Zulte Waregem is tough: Sunday is against Seraing, a match you have to win anyway. After that, a difficult program will follow, although this also applies to Seraing.

Really fighting for survival in the final weeks of the competition is not something the club is familiar with. This entails very specific stressors, people who specialize in this have told me.

They have a promising duo on the bench with coach duo Simons-De fauw, but they are a duo without experience as a coach and especially without experience in dealing with relegation football.

It’d be better if Zolt Vargem beat Syring, otherwise it would be a real problem.
