KRC Genk faces a very important task in the final round of the regular competition. We have to win at KVC Westerlo.
KRC Genk has already had a changing season. Now it's down to the final day of play. KRC Genk must beat KVC Westerlo to ensure their place in the Champions League.
It is possible that Limberger's team will also achieve this with a draw or defeat, but it depends on other results. “In the end you just have to win for yourself,” coach Wouter Franken told Het Laatste Nieuws. “That would be hard enough.”
“Do I feel extra pressure? Last week there was also pressure and we had to win. If we had not won then, our task would have been more difficult now. Moreover: in every big club there is pressure. This is a good thing,” says Franken. You just have to make sure it doesn't cripple your confidence.”
The Genk coach also says the season would have been a failure if the Champions League playoffs had not been reached. In this way he puts pressure on his group of players. So there must be a win. “Yes, if you set your ambitions for this season and do not achieve them, then this is a failure. We will do everything in our power to achieve them.”
Vrancken also brings bad news. In addition to Luca Owen, who will be out for eight months, Jira Sor is also suffering from injury. He will not play against KVC Westerlo.
