Deschacht: "We perform better when under pressure"

Despite having won their two league games, the team has not managed to convince yet. The question is if the team is ready to confront Fenerbahçe. Olivier Deschacht is convinced in the team's capabilities.


"I thought we played well against Lokeren last saturday. We only lacked the finishing," knows the Anderlecht captain. "We will be ready. We always perform better when we're put under pressure. Fenerbahçe is a team that attacks, it'll be a completely different game."

Despite being confident, Deschacht admits he was disappointed after drawing the Turkish champion. "Of course we were disappointed, we could've drawn a much weaker side. But I'm looking forward to the game nonetheless. We're playing against Roberto Carlos, one of my idols. Eliminating him would be wonderful," says the leftback.
