Stipa Fritza was already on his way out of Standard Liège. His coach said that he was looking for a striker “with a flair for goals”, in Belgium it was already estimated that he would leave the Reds at the end of the season, but the former Maccabi Tel Aviv had his own plans.
Fritza excelled in Liege’s 1:3 over Ofen, when he cooked and scored, in which he devoured the cards when it comes to criticisms against him.
“After a period without finding the back of the net, Fritza returned to his smile,” wrote Belgium, “something has finally changed in him. Maybe he was eulogized too soon, but in this game he showed how much he can contribute, both in assists and goals. He suffered from bad luck, and maybe This game gave the signal for change.”
Fritza himself admitted that he feels a sense of relief: “This goal means a lot to me. I haven’t scored in 3 games and finding the net is the most important thing for my confidence. I didn’t panic, I was patient and I’m happy that I helped the team. I hope to continue this ability.”
