Garcia: “If we play the game we did tonight, it will be very difficult to prevent us from being in D1A next year”

Syring was forced to equalize in Ostend in the last moments of the match with a penalty kick from Gay. Post formalizes roadblock location for steel workers. though, Jean Louis GarciaCoach Sirisei was satisfied with his people’s performance on Vincent Langendris’ microphone: “I just told them I’m proud of them, for their performance. I told them the better team tonight unfortunately didn’t win the match. We missed a few minutes. Of course, we are very disappointed with the VAR’s decision, even if it was fair. Actually this penalty can be whistled but we have many decisions against us from the start. And I’m thinking about the penalty kick that wasn’t fired against Antwerp, in the same minute of play, number 89, but in our favour. An indisputable penalty kick where the referee goes to watch the VAR and decides that there is no penalty. We were entitled to an apology from the arbitration department. But we have a feeling that kind of situation never goes our way and at this point in the season and in the game, it generates a lot of frustration. But what I said to the players is that we are only progressing. We are much better than we were three months ago, and if we continue like this, we will continue our leap. I know if we produce the game that we presented tonight, it will be very difficult to prevent us from being at D1A next year.“.

If the split point is not sufficient to continue to believe in direct maintenance, it has the advantage of giving hope to Syring in his qualities: “We reap the rewards of our labor because we worked hard and weren’t always paid. Again tonight, we didn’t get paid. We concede a goal in our own goal with half a chance from the opponent, then we have this unfortunate penalty in an existing but involuntary hand. I told the players that we are busy building confidence, convictions and standards in the game, and we are becoming an increasingly strong team. We have a boy like Gallo Which brings us more creativity. So I am very confident. If we continue to work as we should, if we finish the season well against Genk by trying to continue unbeaten, we will deal with our injuries, potential suspensions, and then we will have fifteen days to prepare for this home and away game against RWDM. I’m sure we will. This is the message I conveyed to my players“.

If he had won this match, he would have given himself an extra week of reprieve, but it wasn’t like that:”We did everything we could tonight to win the game and that generates frustration but we will continue in that direction with this game and this quality of play and being more efficient on both surfaces because I think we could have scored more than two goals. goals and we shouldn’t have avoided achieving the two goals we did“.

Jean-Louis Garcia believes in his team and is convinced Syring can stay in D1A: “The hope is enormous. I am happy and I hope the players will follow me. We are on the right track. In my head I’ve been preparing for this jump for a few weeks. We almost gave ourselves hope of surviving another week, but we’re roadblocks. Birchot would like to be in our place. We play this playoff over two games and more than two games, usually the best team wins and I hope we can prove we’re going to be the best team.“.
