Anderlecht made a big mistake in their search for their first prize in seven years on Thursday evening. After all, the purple-whites will not win the Croky Cup this season, as the purple-whites were eliminated in the quarterfinals by the black beast Union. Even with one less man, that was a step too big.
Anderlecht had themselves largely to blame for this, as they were downright below average. They will no doubt point to the many failures that left Brian Riemer having to tinker with his team. One of the well-known names in the starting line-up was Kasper Schmeichel.
Schmeichel is once again unable to convince
Maxime Dupé usually plays in the cup, but the Frenchman didn’t want to play anymore as he is about to move to Nice. Schmeichel was allowed to play, but the goalkeeper, who was already heavily criticized, was once again unable to convince.
After just ten minutes he almost gave away a goal by simply playing the ball into Sadiki’s feet. He was lucky that Rits saved the day. The Dane also didn’t react to Lapoussin’s opening goal.
Striking action after the game
It will undoubtedly reignite criticism of Schmeichel. His physical condition in particular is often criticized – remember Carl Hoefkens’ infamous words: “He can’t get to the post anymore.” Nevertheless, Schmeichel seems to be doing everything he can to stay focused.
The last hour For example, I saw that Schmeichel suddenly reappeared on the field about 20 minutes after the end of the Union game to run a few more laps. “This is the first time I’ve seen a goalkeeper do something like that after a game,” they told the RSCA physical trainer. “He will no doubt want to show that he actually has goodwill.”
