Na much wahala, Anderlecht go face KRC Genk for Croky Cup wey go happen dis Thursday evening. Dem dey hope say dem fit grab quarter-final spot, but e no go easy as dem go miss one of dem top player. Na wah!
Besnik Hasi, di coach of Anderlecht, don drop di squad wey go travel go Limburg. Him carry 22 players go, but di biggest shock be say one of dem key defenders don japa due to injury. E no easy for Hasi to find replacement, as di guy wey go fill di gap na Killian Sardella, wey fit play as centerback.
As Hasi go face dis pressure, some people go dey wonder if e go fit handle di situation well (we no fit doubt!). Di team don pass through some tough times lately, and critics don dey flex muscle for dem side.
Dem call di match ‘do or die’ for Hasi because reports show say dem don start dey complain about wetin dey happen for di team. Five weeks ago, some paper don write say e go either make am or break am. Sure, some people dey talk say Hasi na old-school coach, but wetin be wrong if e fit mould di team well? (Ancelotti dey relate well with old-school vibes too!)
For di other side, KRC Genk don dey step up dem game, and with di talents wey dem get, na im dem dey expect to shine well-well. Aimé Anthuenis, former coach of both clubs, don share hin opinion as dem dey wait for di show down. E talk say di current players fit do am, but dem need to find di right form.
Last weekend, Genk don manage win OH Leuven with 2-1, but di match no too get too much drama. As dem dey face tough competition like Anderlecht, dem gatz come correct inside both penalty areas.
Onuachu and Tolu dey miss upfront for Genk, but dem wan find if dem fit bounce back before dem face di mighty Anderlecht. Everybody dey watch as di story go unfold for dis juicy match.
