INTERVIEWS Brian Riemer is looking forward to the confrontation tomorrow night in the Conference League. He wants to qualify for the quarterfinals with Anderlecht and expects an intense match. "How often do you get the chance to play in the quarterfinals? I think it's possible."

Riemer notes, moreover, that his locker room is ready for a fight. "We are Anderlecht. I've never played a game here without pressure. Here, expectations are always high. If you can't stand that, you should go to a team that doesn't play European soccer. But in the locker room, everyone is ready for this challenge. My message: "Enjoy the moment".
