Trip to the Spor. Men 18 Sep Tomorrow, our Mannekes head to Limburg for the clash with Hasselt.
With 12 points from 15 and a share of top spot, Beerschot travel to Limburg with confidence. We looked ahead with D’Margio Wright-Phillips.
Last week’s 3-1 victory against Lierse brought a lot of positivity to the club. “It was a great evening, both on and off the pitch. It was fantastic to see so many fans in our stadium, even during the warm-up. You can see that we start the game well and manage to score almost immediately,” says D’Margio.
“We certainly shouldn’t underestimate the atmosphere in the stands before the game. It makes a difference when you come onto the pitch for the warm-up and the supporters already give you such a warm welcome. Those are the extra few percentages we need to achieve our objective this season,” the attacker continues.
With two goals and one assist, the pacey attacker has made an excellent start to the season. “I feel good and I’m happy that I can be important for the team. The atmosphere within the group is great, but we also remain very realistic. We know that we have to be at our best in every game to win. That’s something we also learned in Dender.”
Tomorrow, Hasselt will provide another tough challenge. The Limburg club, owned by Sam Kerkhofs and Rik Verheye, has also made a good start to the season. After five matchdays, Hasselt have nine points and are close behind the Mannekes.
“We have studied Hasselt extensively and they are a team that can play good football. For them, this may well be the game of the season. So we are aware that they will all be at their best tomorrow. It’s up to us to do the same and match that level.”
See you tomorrow at 4:00 PM at the Stedelijk Sportstadion in Hasselt.
