Sunday, the first great trophy of the Belgian season will be awarded. The Bruges club will face Anderlecht in the Cup final. Bruges seems to be favorite, even if this match could be even more important to Anderlecht.
Indeed, Anderlecht is in a desperate search for a title, having not won anything since the 2017 championship. The Bruges club has been more successful in the past eight years and is currently in the running for the title.
Thanks to his victory against the Gantoise on Thursday, Bruges temporarily resumed the head of the Jupiler Pro League. Anderlecht, despite a victory against Antwerp, can no longer hope to integrate the top 3.
-Difference in talent
For Olivier Deschacht, the gap between the two rivals is mainly explained by a difference in quality in the field. “Against the Union, Hazard lost the ball 50 meters from its goal, and yet there was a goal collected. There was still enough players to intervene? In our time, it was still necessary to go through Biglia, myself, Proto … Now it was a motorway,” he said in Het Nieuwsblad.
The former Anderlecht icon also defends Besnik Hasi. Since his appointment, Hasi has not been able to improve the situation in relation to his predecessors, but according to Deschacht, it is not his fault.
“It’s not Hasi’s fault. You’re not going to tell me that Hesi is a less good coach than Hayen?” He says. “But at the club and the union, there is simply more quality. Put me on the bench to the union, they will still continue to win.”
