'WE DON’T LOOK AT THE LEAGUE POSITION. ONLY THE NEXT MATCH.'

Coach Hernan Losada was visibly happy after the convincing victory against Zulte Waregem that gave Beerschot maximum points and top position in the Jupiler Pro League after 2 match days. 'We don’t look at the league position, we only look at the next match. Nothing has changed there.’

‘I am satisfied with the 3 points, and particularly happy about how we achieved this victory. We were dominant from the start, exerted lot of pressure and created chances. It’s a real pleasure when you see from the bench that the plan is right and the players are carrying it out well. A big well done to them and all the staff.’

Losada obviously also had praise for the performance of Rapha Holzhauser, standing out with 2 goals and an assist. ‘Rapha played a part in all the goals and had a very good match. He mainly made me happy because he worked for the team for 90 minutes, just like the other players. He and the whole team worked hard in preparing for the match. They are extremely fit, and that pays off too. The team is indeed not only physically fit, it’s also mentally strong. Just like last week we could quickly take the lead again after the equaliser. That shows mental resilience. I prefer to look at the team performance rather than the performance of one specific player.’

'THESE ARE 6 IMPORTANT POINTS BUT OUR AMBITION STAYS THE SAME.'
