Beerschot is still last with 5 on 39, 4 points behind Cercle (one match less) and 7 behind Seraing.
Dom knows there is still a long way to go but sounds combative after this first win: “It was finally how it should be. With aggressive pressure and a lot of intensity in the match. We grabbed those guys by the throat and then you see that we gain confidence, create chances and also score goals.”
The atmosphere in the dressing room after the match was fantastic: “That was also “finally” and “enjoy”. I have been looking forward to putting on music in the dressing room and getting on the benches for a whole season. Today is that finally the case. I hope this is a liberation for us and that we can do this weekly.”
In the run-up to the match against tail team Seraing, it was feared that the pressure would be too great. “But I didn’t have that feeling. We went to seclusion for a while and I didn’t feel a lot of pressure from the players there either. On the contrary, I felt a lot of focus and concentration. And that was visible from minute 1. We were there all the time the better team.”

“If we can do this every week, I don’t think we deserve to be in last place. It’s only 1 game that we have been able to do this. At least we now know how to do it.”
The score could have been much higher, because Beerschot created a lot of opportunities: “Actually everyone knew that this is in our team. We were the better team of Seraing today. And we have to be honest: we have played below our level this season. .It will come out today.”
Defensively it is also better: “That’s right, we gave away few chances.”
“It is now a matter of continuing this. In fact, our season has really started now. I am already looking forward to next week’s match.” Then Beerschot has to visit Kortrijk.
