“I think we played a good game. Those two own goals are a pity, because we were well into the match. But I don’t think it’s Wout’s fault,” said Castagne in front of the camera PlaySports. “That ball he is trying to kick away, maybe there was miscommunication between him and the goalkeeper. And with the second, Wout just tries to go for the ball, but it came at him quickly.”
Castagne also stated that Faes recovered well afterwards. “Wout played a good second half and that is difficult after two own goals. I spoke to him at half time and told him to forget it, that it wasn’t really his fault and he had done his best. The coach and some of the other players also talked to him to give him some confidence.” (Read more below the photo)
