"Silva still has some physical backlog"

INTERVIEWS With his substitution Fabio Silva suddenly created fire in the game against Ostend last Sunday. Whether that means he will be starting against Cercle tomorrow is still uncertain. "Because he wasn't there during the preparation, he has some physical deficits," says coach Felice Mazzu. "He still has some work to do."


Anyway, it seems a matter of time before Mazzu opts for a striker duo Esposito - Silva. Benito Raman will then have to content himself with a role as a substitute again. "This should just push Benito to give his best," Mazzu said on his press call yesterday afternoon.

With, we may assume, four European games, August promises to be a busy month. Mazzu says that this will give several lads the chance to play. "I am not afraid to rotate, my selection is strong enough," said Mazzu. "Depending on the situation and fatigue, I will rotate."
