Union Coach Warns Team Must Be At Their Best Against Newcastle

Union Saint-Gilloise manager Hendrik Van Crombrugge cautioned that his side will need to deliver an exceptional performance to compete against Newcastle in their upcoming match. The Belgian club is preparing for what Van Crombrugge described as a demanding test against a well-resourced and tactically sound opponent.

Van Crombrugge emphasized the importance of discipline, focus, and tactical coherence, especially when facing strong teams playing away. He noted that his squad must capitalize on their strengths — compact defense, quick transitions, and resilient mindset — to stand a chance.

While acknowledging Newcastle’s quality on paper, Union’s coach expressed confidence that his team can make the match competitive if they uphold their principles and remain organized. The warning serves as both a motivational message and a tactical reminder to his players.
