Van Crombrugge: "Now focus on recovery"

INTERVIEWS For the second time in four days Anderlecht was able to keep the zero. That obviously pleased goalkeeper Hendrik Van Crombrugge. "Especially the way he did it," said the captain. "Everyone battled for the ball. The boys showed team spirit and I also took out a few."


That Anderlecht saw Jan Vertonghen drop out during the warm-up was a disappointment, but not insurmountable, Van Crombrugge said. "The young guys have been with the team long enough to know how to deal with setbacks. 't takes some getting used to and you have to anticipate it, but they did that."

Thursday already awaits the next assignment. No Conference League this time, but the Cup of Belgium. "Now the focus is on recovery. It was a tough pitch today and it will also be tough in the cup. We will analyze today's match and see where Lierse's strengths and weaknesses lie."
