“Club Brugge has got the new Ernst Abel with this coach” | Football 24

Club Brugge has been working on a success story with Philippe Clement for several years now. Now that she also scored European scores, comparisons to Ernst Abel are starting to emerge.

Sports/Football Magazine Try to test the validity of these comparisons and come up with each of the differences and similarities below via testimonials, among other things.

“If Jean Breedel quickly resembles the atmosphere that prevailed against PSG, it will shake again. Especially since Clement fits in Abel’s tradition: grabbing the opponent by the throat. Attacking football if possible, with plenty of freedom for the attacking booth.”

Julian Coles testifies in the Weekly: “They are both good tactically, they can make a team. I see the similarities: their players are fighting for each other. They are also in good shape.”

Names

Jos Volders: “Relying on your strength is another similar thing. Don’t worry about the names you’re playing against. Hubble didn’t look at that at the time and I think Clement is trying to do the same.”
