Romeo Vermant lived a magical evening against Anderlecht. He had not yet come down from his cloud to the interview.
Succeeding in Bruges by being the son of Sven Vermant was not a sinecure for Romeo Vermant, who tirelessly hears the name of his father to return to the discussions. So the young striker chose (in addition to his good performances in the playoffs), a match that was made to stay in the spirits and a significant celebration to write his own story.
His double carried the Club they are used Towards his first Belgian Cup for eleven years: “Wow! I would never have dared to imagine last month that I would be holder, then that I would mark a double and win. It is indescribable”, he explains to the microphone of VTM.
With his Tzolis and Jashari teammates, he settled on plastic chairs in front of the club’s hard core – a spontaneous action that has instantly become an emblematic image. “I had already said to Tzolis before the match: if I score, we go to the supporters and we take these chairs. Yes, the rest belongs to the story,” he laughs.
Third choice in attack at the start of the season, he measures the path traveled: “Ten years ago, I was still a child in the stands,” he explains, with a touch of emotion. “And now I score twice in the final against Anderlecht … It’s just unreal.”
Was the striker that the club was looking for?
The second goal is a model of the genre: Vermant anticipates the center at the first post and is ahead of the marking of Jan-Carlo Simic : “I knew that when Christos (tzolis) was going to bring the ball, I just had to the right time. It was an attacker’s goal.”
Despite the euphoria, the 21 -year -old striker wants to give credit to Anderlecht: “It was a good match, it is a Anderlecht different from that of the start of the playoffs, so it was necessary to play differently to win today”.
And now ? What about the party? “I will certainly dance a lot, I love it, but no alcohol, because next week, we have to start again. Tonight, I’m going to relax my legs,” he laughs.
