Bournemouth dedicate Ipswich win to Frederic de Boever

MARCO Rose and Ryan Christie dedicated the Cherries’ 2-1 win over Ipswich to goalkeeper coach Frederic de Boever after he missed the trip due to a family bereavement.

Bournemouth won 2-1 in Suffolk to move to eight wins in a row in all competitions, with the team in superb form.

Rose said after the game: “I have to say we missed our goalkeeper coach today.

“He has a personal topic at home and we really miss him and we think of him and we hope that he is coming back soon.”

Christie, too, said the victory was for the coach, who joined the club in the summer.

“Devastating news for him and something that’s obviously much, much bigger than football,” Christie said.

“I think everybody at the at the club and the staff and all the players can extend their condolences to him and his family during a tough period.

“It has got to a point now that the staff have come in, you get pretty close to them as well, so stuff like that affects all of us as a group, but hopefully he’ll see that result today and it’ll put a wee smile on his face.”
