Simon Mignolet: “Positive second half reaction”

“We took such a bad start to this game. Our first half was sub-par, allowing Charleroi to create chances so easily. We were 0-2 behind in no time, making it so much harder on ourselves. What's positive, however, is that we kept our heads high and showed an immediate reaction. Even in the first half, with that spot kick in the dying seconds. Our coach dotted the I's and crossed the T's at half time, and showed us where our responsibilities lied. It all starts with winning duels, fighting for one another, doing your job defensively, and only then you can start thinking about the style of football you want to bring to the table. We had a fine second half reaction, however, we really should be playing like that an entire game, it's something we need to take to the following games. If we could have started the way we played in the second half, we definitely would have been in a better position. When we conceded those goals, a lot of bad luck played its part. That's the situation we are in right now, and the only way to get out of this despondency is through hard work and by keeping our foot firmly fixed to the ground. Just do our job, roll up our sleeves and fight for each other.”
