Club Brugge faces pressure under new Belgian league format

Club Brugge is facing increased pressure due to changes in the Belgian league format. Following the abolition of the play-offs, CEO Bob Madou noted that the club can no longer afford extended periods of poor performance, as every match in the regular season will now carry greater weight toward the title race.

Analyst Marc Degryse has expressed criticism regarding the team's recent lack of intensity and inspiration. He specifically highlighted a lack of 'grinta' in the midfield and noted that player Freddie Potts needs to show more impact. Coach Ivan Leko has also been vocal about the need for the squad to improve its level to meet both domestic ambitions and upcoming Champions League commitments.
