Phillip Goss has been the face of overtime since this season. He has a clear opinion on everything related to football in our country.
Philip Goss, for example, is an ardent supporter of the competition format with qualifiers. This creates a lot of tension, especially if you watched last season’s finale.
Although, of course, you can question whether the competition format should not just be fair. “Even if you look at it this way, there is a lot to be said for the playoffs. Everyone plays against each other, and then the best teams find out who is the most superior: that’s not surprising, is it?
Such a system is not suitable for small clubs. “But for me, the great appeal of football is the excitement. So I’m also in favor of halving the points. However, I think you can do it in a smarter way: awarding two points for a win in a regular competition instead of three.”
There is a lot of tension in the Jupiler Pro League, something you rarely encounter, even in Europe. “You only really see it in the Premier League, in most other countries there is a clear hierarchy,” Goss continues.
“By the way, we said here very quickly that Club Brugge has become like the Belgian Bayern Munich. That really doesn’t happen that easily here. With Union and Antwerp, we now also have new top clubs, each with its own fairy tale story: you can’t help but applaud that, can’t you?” Especially since they are clubs with a beautiful history and a large support base.”
