We are in the middle of the season, and in Club Brugge, parallels with last season are already being identified: good results in the Champions League, inconsistent in domestic competitions. And the local press analyzes the team’s moment with shock after the home defeat (1-4) against Sint-Truide, last Wednesday, in the round of 16 of the Belgian Cup.
Newspaper Newsblade He writes that this result, in the first official match after the obligatory World Cup break, left a mark in the group led by Karl Hofkins, although he was trusted by the management and the team, but now his place is in danger.
The continuity of the technician may even depend on this Monday’s result against Leuven (ninth place), for the eighteenth round of the Jupiler League, as Club Brugge (fourth) is already 13 points behind leaders Genk.
It should be noted that Club Brugge was surprised in the Champions League by qualifying for the round of 16 and runners-up of Group Two, behind Porto and ahead of Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid.
Benfica followed in a tie that grants access to the quarter-finals. The first leg is scheduled to take place on February 15 in Belgium and the second on March 7 in Lisbon.
