Vercauteren: "Forget about Real and AC Milan"

It seems like Vercauteren is the only one who keeps his feet on the ground after the game against Real: "You haven't seen the first half, did you?", he wonders. He was anythinb gut euforic against the press yesterday.

He also made a clear statement towards the players: "We have to forget about Real and the Champions League. We have to focus on Bruges now. Normally we've got a week to prepare, now we only had 2 days. We still have a lot of work."

Everyone thinks that the game agianst Real gave the players trust, but that's not how it is with Vercauteren: "You haven't seen the first half, did you?", During half time they already knew how I fel about their perfomances. We also have to look at the negative side, not just the positive one."

"There's a long way to go to the end of the championship, so we don't have to start calculating. Of course I'd rather be 6 points ahead on Bruges, then 6 behind. Bruges will be at their best, I don't fear them, but respect them."

Soon Vercauteren will have luxury problem: Legear, Vanden Borre, Juhasz, Frutos, Hassan, Tchité, Akin, ... "That doesn't interest me! It's about the team, not about the players. I've got 25 players, and I'll chose the ones who will play against Bruges."
