As expected, the match against Cercle de Bruges was synonymous with a return to business for Arnaud Bodart. The latter did not want to ignite but still enjoyed the moment.
It was last April 23: Arnaud Bodart played his last match for the Standard in the Playoffs, against Mechelen. At least that’s what we thought. Because 214 days and 19 matches played by Matthieu Epolo later, Bodart made his return between the poles.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper didn’t want to brag: “You know me, I’m never going to put myself forward so I’m going to highlight the team who put in a solid performance in a really difficult match,” he declared. to the newspaper Le Soir, satisfied with the clean sheet.
“It makes me feel good, it makes me very happy. It’s true that I missed it, but where I’m most proud is that we took three points which will do a lot of good before to go to Charleroi” he continues.
Confirmed as holder
Behind the agreed speech, Arnaud Bodart savored these 90 minutes in Sclessin: “It gives me enormous pleasure to return to the stadium, to repress this pitch, these goals and this atmosphere. Since I started, they have always supported me body and soul, and for a goalkeeper is priceless.”
A nice message for the supporters: “If I am here today, it’s thanks to them too. We spent five seasons together, and they always supported me. For that, I thank them and I can tell them that when I’m needed, I’ll always be there and I’ll always fight for the club I love.”
Ivan Leko will need him precisely next week. After the meeting, he confirmed to DAZN that Bodart would start again during the Walloon clash.
