Philippe Clement spoke of a deserved but difficult one victory of his Club Brugge against KV Kortrijk. “After ten minutes there was not enough movement in the front. We built up well, but in the sixteen meters we missed a point of contact and we could not be dangerous. After Krmencik’s input, things went better – we fought more. That goal was the result, but the problem was that afterwards we started thinking too much about that match of KV Mechelen (where Club gave up the victory, ed.). My players especially wanted to avoid Kortrijk getting back into the match instead of looking for the second goal. We backed up too much. ” But that all ends well, so. “We won for the first time at home without fans and took a clean sheet. Two things that we can and must certainly be satisfied with. ”

Clement:
Blue-black has to go to Dortmund on Tuesday. And to Haaland – superlatives are gradually falling short of the miracle. He scored four times against Hertha Berlin. “As a coach, it must be great fun to have Haaland in your team”, Clement is also impressed. “That’s just like with Romelu Lukaku. If you ensure good organization around them, you will get a long way. And we know that Borussia Dortmund is a team out of our league. There is nothing wrong with saying that. But we are going to sell our skin dearly, as we did in the first leg ”, says Clement.

Hannes Van Der Bruggen: “Today Club was no better”
“Club Brugge is of course much better than us, but that was not the case today”, said Kortrijk captain Hannes Van Der Bruggen.

“I leave Jan Breydel with a feeling of regret, of ‘there was more in it’. When you come to Bruges, you know it will be a difficult evening, but I didn’t feel that way. In terms of scoring chances they had a little more, but we also got opportunities. Our problem today is not that we should make better use of it. We are good until the sixteen, we play fairly directly but once in the sixteen we miss that killer instinct. ”

Van Der Bruggen picked up yellow very early and that is never conducive to the further course of the match. “Fortunately there were no supporters or they had exerted even more pressure on the ref, but now I did not dare to go all out in the game in the second half for fear of a second yellow card.”

That it eventually became 1-0 after an hour of play, KVK sought itself by passing near the corner flag, dribbling and eventually losing the ball. It was an unfortunate phase, but it is often not easy to get out with the ball ”, responded Van Der Bruggen, protecting his mate Dewaele. He saw his opponent get away with the ball. “The goal did not come immediately either, the action continued for some time and the ball eventually came from the other flank. We were on the goal line with three, but no one went to Lang so that he could play with his retro. So there was more to say about our goal against. ”
