Luis Vazquez was not started by David Hubert at RFS, although he was expected to join the squad. He then was catastrophic again when he got into the game…
Since his arrival in the Jupiler Pro League, Luis Vazquez hasn’t progressed one bit. Worse: he lost the undeniable qualities that he brought to the table when he started, namely enormous commitment, racing, self-sacrifice and much more energy than a Dolberg who was quite economical with his efforts.
From now on, the Argentinian is dragging out his sentence. This is visible when he enters the game; it is visible in the corridors of the stadium after the match. This was evident after his disastrous match at Tubize-Braine, where he came out very early and saw Dolberg score a hat-trick on the way up.
In Riga, Luis Vazquez did not even start this time. We had hinted to our Latvian colleagues that the Argentinian could start and benefit from Hubert’s management of the Anderlecht squad. But we also couldn’t help but add that this would be very good news for RFS.
And in the end, it wasn’t really a surprise that Vazquez didn’t start, as Dolberg is so confident. The former Boca Juniors player went up and again proved to be ghostly, imprecise, never at the right time. He was not smiling again in the catacombs of Daugavas Stadions.
We can understand it: Luis Vazquez is a nice guy, but who still doesn’t speak the language (luckily for him, there are many Spanish speakers, even amateurs, in the locker room), doesn’t see himself progressing, and has seen a sports director arrive which will inevitably draw conclusions at the end of this season.
For the moment, this conclusion is easy: Anderlecht rather bought a Sylvère Ganvoula than a Nicolas Frutos, and Jesper Fredberg threw 4.5 million out the window. Vazquez will not be sold or loaned this winter unless there is a big surprise; but we will have to initiate the second in the coming months and convince his new sports director that he can be of added value…
