KV Kortrijk coach Glen De Boeck realizes that his player is only a shadow of himself: “I want to see the old Kadri again soon, because he is of great value to us”

No Kadri, no party. That’s how it seems at KV Kortrijk. The captain gave KVK the qualification in the cup match at Dender, but the Algerian was not present against RWDM. “I assume that Kadri doesn’t like it either,” said Glen De Boeck about his important link.

Spectacle value: zero. Number of points: one. KV Kortrijk’s 1-1 draw at RWDM will not stay with us for long. It was a hell of a match, but coach Glen De Boeck did take the first point away from home this season. “We started the best,” said the Kortrijk T1. “After a good fifteen minutes we deservedly took the lead, but afterwards we forgot to double it. That is a shame, especially when you see that RWDM was then able to easily equalize. An avoidable goal, in my opinion. Overall I am satisfied with the performance of my boys. You could clearly see that the midweek cup match at Dender was still in progress. We are on the right track, but we still need some time.”

It was a fair draw, but if one team could win, it was RWDM. Even though Ojo, Davies and Mighten got their first chance at the kick-off for the Kortrijk team. “We had three guys up front with enormous speed. There was more to be gained from that,” says De Boeck. “I thought we were restless during the build-up and played careless football. We also had to do a little more with our ball possession. We will train hard for this in the coming week, but it is a long-term job. We’re doing well. We have already achieved a number of good points, now it is up to us to continue that trend.”

A major problem for KVK is that the turntable is not turning. After all, Abdelkahar Kadri (23) is a shadow of himself and rarely shows what he is capable of. The Algerian has been playing below his level for weeks. “He is not reaching his best form and that is a shame, because he is one of our best players,” De Boeck concluded. “But that always happens in a season, a dip like that. I assume that Kadri doesn’t like it either. We will find out how and why that happens this week. I want to see the old Kadri again soon, because he is of great value to us. Next Sunday at Union we will also miss Malinov. Did he deliberately take yellow? No comment.”
