Gent can secure a spot in the Conference League-play-offs against Göteborg tomorrow. With a 0-1 lead in their pocket, Gent must try to keep the Swedish team in check at home. Will they succeed? Follow the live coverage on Thursday at 20.30.
What's happening?
Gent is defending a 1-0 lead against IFK Göteborg. Coach Rik De Mil warns about Göteborg's attacking power. 'It's a team that scores very easily, both in the game and in the counter-attack.'
Why is this important for Gent?
Gent must start with the idea of winning and going all out. De Mil doesn't want to take a defensive approach. 'If we start the game just defending the 0-1 lead, I think we'll make it very difficult for ourselves.'
What's next?
Gent has a packed schedule with matches every three days. The coach looks resolutely at his young core. 'We have many young players. They must show that they are ready to play important matches quickly in the season.'
Harsh message for Max Dean
In addition to the upcoming European match, the situation surrounding Max Dean was also discussed. The player is eager to take the next step in his career and is currently lacking full focus. 'He wants to take a step, but that depends on the offers that come in or not.'
