Royal Antwerp FC surprised with a banner in support of Marc Overmars. Even if it went the wrong way for many.
A banner to support Marc Overmars, suspended for transgressive behavior. The campaign didn’t resonate with many people.
Erik Van Looy, a well-known supporter of The Great Old, is also having a hard time that the club and players have done this, he said in Extra Time.
“It was very confusing for me. Such a banner is something very visual and the message will surely reach the Netherlands, where the victims live. This is very strange,” says the TV producer.
On the other hand you feel that the man in question is very much loved by the club and the players, and they felt it was necessary to demonstrate their support in this way for someone who has now been sufficiently punished, I think.”
There is still a lot of embarrassment for Overmars over the issue. “When he gets to shake hands, you feel that he realizes that as soon as you turn your back on him you will talk about his mistakes. That’s not to say that what he did wasn’t wrong. On the contrary. That’s why for me such a banner remains a very ambiguous idea.”
