Standard won his second friendly meeting against Maastricht. Here are the ten lessons to remember.
1) Second victory for the standard
Standard won its second preparation match this Friday. The Rouches won against Maastricht at the SL16 Football Campus (2-0). The goals were scored by Karamoko (1-0, 17th) and Gboua (2-0, 48th)
2) Under the eyes of Gill Swerts
The diablotine coach, Gill Swerts, came to attend the meeting. CEO Giacomo Angelini, General Manager Pierre François and sports director Marc Wilmots were also present, just like Maarten Wilmots.
3) Camara already left, the new steps yet ready
On the match sheet, no Ilay Camara, already gone to Anderlecht. Joshua Homawoo and Thomas Henry had not yet resumed with their respective club and were not ready, just like Casper Nielsen. Lucas Pirard, David Bates and Ibe Hautekiet are still injured. Grejohn Kyei was not on the match sheet.
4) Still two different game systems
As in Aubel, Mircea Rednic used two different game systems. A 4-4-2 flat in the first period, and a 4-3-3 in the second, with Adnane Abid in a role of free electron. Find the compositions at the bottom of this article.
5) An U18 has caught the end of the staff
In the first half, Daryl Leunga Leunga was established in central defense. He is a young U18 player, who typed in the eye of the staff of the first team. Mircea Rednic wanted to see him at work and played him for 25 minutes. No big defensive interception, but a superb transversal for Ayensa, testifying to a good quality of ball.
6) The midfielder must play faster
If Léandre Kuavita found Ibrahim Karamoko, on corner, for the opening of the scoring, the midfield of the first period does not seem to have really convinced Mircea Rednic, who constantly asked for more speed of excess, simplicity and play forward. “You must have confidence in your left foot,” often repeated Mircea Rednic to Léandre Kuavita.
7) Adnane Abid has a lot of freedom
Aligned during the second period, Adnane Abid has once again changed in a number 10 role, behind the offensive trio. The first recruit of the Rouches accelerates the game and must be the key to the offensive game of the Standard. With Sahabo and Ilaimaharitra behind him, he did not have to worry about defensive work, also given the modest adversity proposed by Maastricht.
8) Precious Gboua then replaced
Stepped in the second half, Yann Gboua scored the goal of 2-0, before falling back after a duel close to the key line. It was replaced by Oscar Olivier, but the change was already planned. At the end of the meeting, Sahabo was slightly treated on the ground, but more fear than harm.
9) Rednic does not want to play backwards
Especially in her midfielder, Mircea Rednic did not stop asking the game forward. The Romanian annoyed herself during the passing passes and when his players touched the ball several times before letting go. Rednic wants simplicity and verticality, “especially since the legs are tired after the work done.”
10) New integrated into the internship … with Rafiki Saïd?
Casper Nielsen, Thomas Henry and Josué Homawoo should make their debut during the internship, with two friendly games on the program. Rafiki Saïd could arrive in time to reach the Rouches as ninth summer recruit.
The composition of the standard in the first period: Truth – Boring, Song, Long (25ee Death), Pattan, Fossey – Mehstou, Mentity, Karamo, Karamo, Island, Island
The composition of the standard in the second half: Poitoux – Calut, Ngoy, Dierckx, Lawrence – Sahabo, Ilahy – Milingo, Gboua (69e Olivier), Tosso
