Riechedly Bazoer has mixed feelings about the 3-3 draw against Anderlecht on Thursday evening. Vitesse led 2-3 in Brussels shortly before the end, but got away well when the home team missed a penalty deep in injury time. “I think everything is in it,” Bazoer tells after the game football zone. “We are happy on the one hand, but disappointed on the other. If you make the 2-3, you have to win the game.”

The two teams did not differ much from each other, says Bazoer. “We knew we were evenly matched and the match could go either way. In the first half we gave away two goals easily”, the central defender of Vitesse looks back. “The first goal was unfortunate, I think the ball hit my knee, the ball came in front of a player (Francis Amuzu, ed.), the keeper took a shot and the ball came in front of a player (Raman) again. In the second half we came out of the dressing room well and scored two goals, but then you have to cross the line.”

The 2-3 was made by Oussama Tannane. The substitute scored after a good individual action in the penalty area. It was a great boost for the creative, who has lost his base place and whose fitness was the subject of discussion during the preparation. “I wholeheartedly give it to Tannane. Everyone knows how well he can play football. He is not having an easy time now, but he is showing class again. Personally I think that is nice for him. Everyone knows how well he played football last season. disappointing him that he doesn’t start, but we try to boost him because he has a lot of qualities, you can see that again today. He just comes out on top, because he is a fantastic footballer.”

Bazoer takes some lessons from Brussels. “That we should not give away the goals so easily. We have to play more man to man, especially in the penalty area. You can also see that with the goals. We have scored three goals here in Brussels and that is where quality speaks. be sharp. I think we can achieve a good result with the audience behind it,” he looks ahead. Will any qualification for the Conference League group stage still affect his wish to leave? “I haven’t really thought about that yet. Not really. Everyone knows how I stand, but it will take another two weeks. I’m glad the trainer is using me. I’ll just keep giving one hundred percent and we’ll see what will happen.” .”
