INTERVIEWS Felice Mazzu has reached his first goal at Anderlecht: the group stage of the Conference League. "This is what the club had been waiting for a long time," he told us after the game. "The players felt the pressure. We were almost obliged to qualify. Mentally it was difficult".
"I asked who wanted to kick a penalty kick. That there are a lot of young guys among them did not surprise me. I take Noah Sadiki as an example. I told him at the end of the match - and forgive the expression: 'You have really big balls'. He dares to take responsibility."
However, Mazzu did not have his boys train on penalty kicks in recent days. "Noah still asked about it. I told him that you can't simulate the mental and emotional pressure on training anyway."
