Amando Lapage, the grandson of Paul Van Himst, made his debut with Anderlecht this Thursday evening against Tubize-Braine, in the round of 16 of the Belgian Cup. “I’m very happy. Once we scored 0-3, I was starting to feel a little like the moment was coming. The coach called me, I was very happy to get on the pitch. (…) It’s really great to make my debut here. »
Leoni: “Happy for Dolberg and Lapage”
Author of an interesting performance in this No. 6 position that he particularly likes, Theo Leoni was happy when he came to talk about this fairly clear victory for Anderlecht at Tubize-Braine. “Even if it took a little time to take shape, this success will do us good,” he smiled. We scored four goals, we didn’t concede any and our attackers were able to find some color. I hope that we will manage to use this great momentum in the championship first, then in the European Cup. I am also particularly satisfied for Dolberg, who has not scored a hat-trick for a long time, but also for Lapage, who I know well. He showed that we could clearly count on him in the future. He’s a guy who, like me, was trained in Neerpede and had to learn the virtues of patience before being given a real chance to shine at the highest level. He knows that he will still have to confirm the full extent of his possibilities in the medium and long term. He may not be the most intrinsically talented defender but he is a hard worker who I know well having played many games alongside him at youth level. He has learned and progressed a lot recently, he is intelligent and can clearly establish himself permanently within the team. »
