N'Diaye: "We play liberated in Europe"

INTERVIEWS Moussa N'Diaye was one of the standouts against Villareal. When he spoke to RTBF afterwards, the adrenaline was dripping off him. "Our chances of going through? One hundred percent!" it sounded convincing.


"We are working for it and are motivated. So I give us 100 percent chances. We played 1-1 here and have to hold that over there. We are going to place."

"I want to congratulate the whole team. We did the essential thing and worked well. It wasn't easy, but we did the maximum. We will continue to work to repeat this result. Despite the goal against, we remained calm and kept our heads high. At halftime the coach gave us good instructions and in the second half we gave everything. Whether we play more liberated in Europe? Yes, it is indeed not the same. We play against teams from other countries. Not against teams that know us."

And so Anderlecht can hope for a European quarterfinal. Something few expected beforehand. "People were indeed saying that, but we didn't have that attitude. The coach motivated us well. I hope we kick off over there with the same attitude. And that we will win."
