Marc Brys initially sympathized with his French defender, who may be sidelined for a long time again. “He had just returned from an injury. He had worked extremely hard and got back on track in record time.”
“And then Durkin makes such a mistake. They should really ban him for life. You don’t make such mistakes. I think that’s inappropriate. You really saw Durkin’s intention to kick Duplus. That is incomprehensible.”
Brys himself also got involved in a minor incident during the match, when Duckens Nazon defiantly celebrated in front of his ex-coach after his goal. After all, the Haitian hardly had any chances to play at STVV under Brys.
“I like that reaction”, Brys takes it sporty. “That was revenge for him, that is part of the game for such a young guy. I have no problem with that. After the difficult relationship we had, such a reaction is not illogical.”
