Brandon Mechele: "The gap must not get bigger"

Brandon Mechele walked off the field disappointed. Due to the defeat against Charleroi, Club Brugge now finds themselves ten points behind the leader.

"It could have been different today. They had one chance, a set piece, and they scored. We weren't good, but we had opportunities that we didn't convert. That's where we were unlucky. It was too slow today and the pitch was difficult to play on. But we shouldn't hide behind that; it just wasn't good enough from us. It's disappointing to lose at home. We had a good training camp and a good last week. Things were going smoothly in training. Then I don't understand how you can start a match like that. We're not looking at the gap with the leader right now. We should only be focusing on ourselves. Last year, you also saw that things can change quickly in the playoffs, but the gap definitely should not get any bigger. Oostende is now the chance to bounce back. It's only about looking at the next game now. We've shown that we can do it. This group should definitely be able to compete for the title. If you can do it in the Champions League, then you should be able to do it in the league as well, it's that simple. We have enough talent and experience, that's not where the problem lies." (KN)
