Mazzu: "Mentally we need to improve"

INTERVIEWS"Before the substitutions, we lacked everything today," Anderlecht coach Felice Mazzu began his analysis after the game against Paide. "We didn't have enough intensity, coordination, desire in the runs and we lost the ball too often. It's hard to explain why that was."


According to Mazzu, his team failed mentally. "It's certain that we have to improve in that area. The will to set something on fire, to storm forward and run, it has to be there. Like today, we give our opponent confidence."

As for the substitutes, Mazzu was satisfied. "With his goal, Fabio Silva made it easier for us. Refaelov also gave our game a boost and Stroeykens played in space. That freed up players like Murillo," said Mazzu, who also had praise for Sardella. "He showed a lot of sense and good intensity."

Finally, Mazzu spoke briefly about a possible departure of Amuzu. "I would like to convince him to stay. He provides verticality in our game. As long as he is there and shows commitment, he will play."
