Javier Torrente, coach of Beerschot, has swam through a lot of water. The Argentinian was with Newell’s Old Boys, made derbies in Paraguay, knew the atmosphere between Marseille and PSG… But he is now looking forward to the Antwerp derby.
Torrente would start with one comment. “I really hope that we can play publicly. The folklore of this match must not be lost. If we now close stadiums again, we will go back to square one and that would be very unfortunate. Especially for this match. For us it is very important, firstly for the atmosphere and the tension that surrounds it, but also because we need the points.”
Torrente has already heard a lot, but looks forward to experiencing it for yourself. A lot of passion too. Everyone is eager to play such matches. All the sounds I receive show how much lives here. a blistering Sunday.”
It is of course the second against the last. “It is a perfect with a lot of qualities, but we are still in a process of getting better every week. The match against Standard was proof of that. If we just finish our chances, we will win that match. unbelievable impulse. If you don’t win, there’s mental patching again. You’re stronger!”
