A few days ago, Anderlecht lost the game against PSG. Did anyone expect something else? I guess no. But the poor gameplay, the big difference between the two teams, and the mentality of the players really shocked me, and not only me. The difference between the two teams was not immediately visible. The first quarter, PSG wasn't awake I guess, because their passes weren't that accurate, and the difference between the two teams wasn't even there. But then Ibrahimovic woke up. He started his one-man-show and scored four goals in the first half. And as if it wasn't enough, he even scored his fourth in the second half. All of them were goals Anderlecht can only dream about. Cavani even made the fifth goal, and humiliated Anderlecht completely.

But the thing that shocked me the most, was the mentality of players and coach. Before the match even started, they were convinced they were going to lose. They couldn't do anything about the world stars of PSG. Only because of this mentality you will lose every single match against teams like PSG. The same mentality was found during the game. The only thing Anderlecht tried, was defending. Mitrovic was the only player who was attacking, and Suarez was not a striker, but a defender. You can't win a match when you're playing the whole match like this. So they didn't. But the thing that shocked me the most, was the mentality of the trainer afterwards. He said his team wasn't ready for the champions league. Were has the respect for your team gone?
