From those two games on everything went crazy for those two teams. The two games where the worst games we have even seen in Belgium, players going for eachothers legs, supporters grabbing players when they came to close, coaches going at eachother.... you name it, it was all there. After that they have been fighting a battle in the press, a hard one, untill a few hours before last week-ends game started. Take all that and the fact that Witsel was hit by Wasilewski in his back a few years ago, still leaving marks and something bad was bound to happen. Those players have been made angry for over a year before the game started, by the press, the teams management, and so on....

They started the game with anger and bad intentions, nothing else. Three dirty attacks where already made before this one. Another player from Anderlecht is 6 months out because of another tackle about 10 minutes before "the big one".

That's what you get when you put hate inside the head of 20 year old players who make millions
