Trainer Zulte Waregem Frederik D’Hollander looks ahead: “We have to win on Sunday”

Essevee lives towards the match against Cercle in peace and confidence. That confidence was already there after Charleroi and is now even higher.

“Bring positive feelings from Eupen”

In the week of truth, it started training with enthusiasm. There is no pride, but no stress either. “The only thing that counts are the players who have to believe in it themselves. You can try to convey it, but they have to pick it up and radiate it in the game. I think we are doing that at the moment. Of course we also take the positive feeling from Eupen,” says trainer of Zulte Waregem Frederik D’Hollander.

The 1-5 victory against Eupen was the next step in the upward curve that Frederik D’Hollander brought in a short time. There was also more in it against Standard and Charleroi, but now Essevee treats itself to one last chance to finish it at home. “Cercle is of course not Eupen. They play in a different way with a lot of intensity. It is also a strong team. They are in ninth or maybe even eighth place, whatever their ambition is. We are going to try to stop that. stabbing,” says trainer D’Hollander.

12,000 tickets sold out

The Rainbow Stadium will be completely full on Sunday for the first time. From two o’clock there is already a fan village. The 12,000 tickets are also sold out in no time. “It is unbelievable that that vibe has arrived in four to five weeks. Because four to five weeks ago the atmosphere was a lot less. And now everyone is taking hold of that positive feeling. It is nice that the supporters are also embracing it,” concludes D’Hollander.
