“Very interesting that the Dutch newspapers paid so much attention to us”
After the end of the 2-0 defeat in Brussels the Dutch press was critical of AZ, but also little praise for Anderlecht. “I find it very interesting that the Dutch newspapers paid so much attention to us last week. I see it as a compliment that they wrote about our level in that match. I leave it to the analysts what they think of us. I was in Anyway, very happy with our performance last week.”
