INTERVIEWS Robin Veldman already faces a serious assignment tomorrow, the Conference League match against FCSB. The time was short to prepare, Veldman's philosophy also leans closer to that of Vincent Kompany, he immediately admitted himself. But above all, he wants to return the joy of football to his players.


"This is very special," Veldman began his press conference, "One moment you are taking your children to school and a moment later you are standing there as coach of the first team. In any case, we are going to try to make something beautiful out of it. I want to give those boys on the pitch their football pleasure back, that they are there with a smile again. We've actually been working on that for the past 48 hours."

"It's nice how much confidence I get, inside and outside the club. I don't want to betray that confidence and make everyone proud of their club again. Because it is also important that the supporters get a smile on their faces again."

System
"My focus in the game is elsewhere, but it is difficult to get that in already on two days. Still, I hope I can surprise, especially the opponent. The habits in ball possession -and loss, we will already see changes in that."

"The fact is that right now we are just way too low and that has to go up. We hope to do that in an enthusiastic way and if we can do that, I am confident."

Head coach
"I am there now to help the team, that is priority, not my person and position. If I have to go back to the plaudits tomorrow it will be with great pleasure. But it's about Anderlecht now and if I'm that person that can help the club move forward, gladly, but the club will always be number one. We'll see how it goes in the future."
