Bjorn Meijer: "This win should give a boost"

"After the derby against Cercle, we clearly had something to put right and prove ourselves to everyone who cares about this club. I think we succeeded in that," the Bruges left-back said in a first reaction. "The criticism in recent days and weeks was logical and justified, but today (I think) we can say that we played a more than solid game. And unlike the passing weeks, we were able to hold on to the lead this time. We started the game with a lot of confidence and immediately tried to grab the visitors by the throat. We were good tactically and that way we were able to keep Gent in our grip. I don't think they were able to force a real chance." The Dutchman was also clear about his own goal : "I immediately saw that the ball had crossed the goal line, so there was the slightest doubt. But the most important thing remains that we were able to keep the three points at home today and that we dealt Gent a blow. However, it remains important not to get out of our depth now, but to just keep working hard. Nevertheless, this win should give us a boost, because the battle for a place in the Champion' Play-Offs is not minus, but we simply owe it to our status to finish in the top four." (MV)
