good performance from Belaid according to observershe who was associated with the Japanese international Taniguchi and the young Van Helden.
For reception in Mechelen in the championship yesterdayBelaid returned to the bench and it was captain Bruno Godeau who found his place but in the 14th minute Taniguchi comes out injured and the Algerian comes in to play 76 minutes. V2-1 victory for Saint-Trond against Ahmed Touba's club. So Zinnedine Belaid was able to seize his chance and could have his chance again if Taniguchi's injury lasts a long time.

For Belaid the situation is complicated but fortunately we now have solutions in defense. He has to play a little more so that he can reach out to him »
