"We did everything to keep it"

Defeated for his first official match since his return as coach of the Standard, Michel Preud'homme was rebadured about the delivery of his. "
                     I am satisfied with the first half hour when we tried to annoy Bruges
                    ", Explained the former mentor of FC Bruges at RTBF. "
                        Unfortunately, then, we had 10 minutes of black-out where we conceded the first goal. This is paid cash, especially with teams of equal level. We lost the lead and cashed 2-0 directly. That said, we played very well in the second half. With more success, we probably could have equalized. The team did a good game overall, but we gave victory in Bruges on nonsense .

From the moment a club puts the price asked by the president, you have to be smart and not keep the whole season a player who may not be doing anything anymore. it is the law of the current football. I knew Saudi Arabia, did I talk about Qatar with Junior? No, I'm not his manager. The only thing I did was convince him to stay. I have been working on this since I arrived but I think it was a waste of time. After, will he be happy there? I can not say, Orlando Sa was not happy in China …
                    

Now, the eyes are on Mehdi Carcela, the other thorny issue of recent days. "
                     Bruges has a large nucleus that we do not have yet. You know our problems. It's going to happen, Ochoa is back, We hope to get Carcela back quickly … They were not alone but you know what Carcela and Edmilson brought as finesse to Standard last season. We have one that leaves, we hope to recover the second. Is there anything new compared to the last time concerning Mehdi Carcela? I think there are contacts now …
