Hasi: "We don't have match rhythm yet"

INTERVIEWS Besnik Hasi acknowledged after the match against Häcken that his team is currently unable to perform at the highest level for ninety minutes. He pointed out that the Swedish opponents already have seventeen league matches under their belt, which gives them an advantage in that regard. "We're lucky they didn't capitalize on their two excellent chances," he said. Hasi realizes that the second leg will be a challenge, as the Swedes play at home on their artificial turf, which could be a significant advantage.


To prepare, Hasi has already scheduled additional training sessions on artificial turf.

During the first match, Nilson Angulo stood out as Anderlecht's most dynamic player, although Hasi was aware that he could only play for sixty minutes. Enric Llansana also made a good impression, with his physical sharpness and clever fouls.

Hasi gave Marco Kana the chance to prove himself, and although he played well, he lacked pace in open spaces. Jan-Carlo Simic missed the match and his availability for the second leg is uncertain: "I give it a 50% chance. We're not taking any unnecessary risks," he said.
