Wouter Vrancken has responded for the first time to his suspension proposal after the salon draw against Westerlo (1-1) during the last match day of the regular competition.
“In that final phase I was only busy with one thing: making it clear to my players that we had reached play-off 1 with the 1-1 score,” said the Genk T1. “What should I have done differently? Push them ahead ten against eleven? Only to be accused again of lacking lewdness? Afterwards, Joris (Kayembe even gave the ball to opponent Madsen, ed.) realizes all too well that he made a mistake there. That action proves once again that the situation arose spontaneously on the field. In Westerlo, the camera angle from the main stand is very low, so you can see perfectly what is being said and done on the two benches. Well, you can clearly see that there has been no contact whatsoever between the two camps. We were constantly working with our own team to achieve our own goal. I find this proposal difficult to understand. There are people from the club working on the profession. For the rest, I’ll see how it goes.” (YBW)
