Marc Degryse has harsh words for the technical director of Racing Genk. According to the report in Redactie24, Dimitri De Condé must urgently intervene in the team's problems. The former saw how his former club lost the lead against Anderlecht.
Degryse emphasizes that De Condé cannot remain passive on the sidelines. There needs to be an internal conversation about how matches are lost. The technical director must confront the coach with facts, according to the analysis.
Why must Thorup become stricter?
Racing Genk coach Jess Thorup receives criticism from Degryse. The analyst believes the Danish trainer must be stricter with underperforming players. He must dare to intervene during matches if necessary. Thorup's approach is seen as a key point for improvement.
Player reaction to the equalizer
The match against Anderlecht ended in a surprising 4-4 draw. Zakaria El Ouahdi and Matte Smets reacted passively to the equalizer that led to the 4-4 final score. The technical quality in midfield was present, but players could not hold onto the leading lead. Attackers were easily dispossessed of the ball.
