Anderlecht has an excellent training center and Neerpede continues to supply players almost every year. David Hubert made a logical decision. Tristan Degreef will not return with RSCA Futures.
“This week I learned that I am now a permanent member of the A core. I also got my place in the locker room. Against FC Porto, I had my chance, again as a starter,” declared the young attacking midfielder on the channels of the Anderlecht club.
Dream evening for Degreef
The young man played a solid match against FC Porto, who struggled to control him. He scored, delivered an assist that narrowly missed turning into a goal, but he also committed a penalty.
“I think we played a good game, then I made that mistake on the penalty. I knew there wasn’t much I could do, so I took action right away. There is no need to dwell on this,” he added.
More playing time in the Jupiler Pro League
His first goal was a wonderful moment. “It was a dream come true. It was really emotions being released. I caught the logo. Everyone knows I’m a Neerpede-boy. To score my first goal for this club and then see the fans shouting my name, it really gave me goosebumps,” Degreef said.
The question is whether David Hubert will also give Degreef more chances in the Jupiler Pro League. Indeed, he only played 99 minutes in the Jupiler Pro League, which is in stark contrast to the 360 minutes he spent in the Europa League.
