Standard won against Charleroi during the Walloon clash. The 20-year-old scored his first Pro League goal.
Standard was undoubtedly hoping for better than a draw against a sick Charleroi this Saturday during the Walloon clash. However, the Zebras equalized in the final seconds.
However, a young Standard player stood out during this meeting: Léandre Kuavita. The 20-year-old stood out by scoring his first goal in the Pro League.
Guest on the set of RTL Sportsthe CEO of Standard Pierre Locht explained that Kuavita was his “player of the weekend”. “He was the scorer during the Walloon clash at home, but also because I think he is a young player who shows good things. These are not always the qualities we are used to seeing from others. a young talent coming out of the academies.”
“Sometimes we see players who have great technical predispositions, but who are a little behind physically, etc. And Leandro, it is perhaps less ‘sexy’ to see, but he is very valuable in the team. He has a fairly exceptional volume of play, especially for his age. He also has a very developed tactical intelligence.
Locht predicts a bright future for the young midfielder. “I think if we give him the confidence he deserves and let him grow, he can still improve technically. I know that’s sometimes the frustration of some fans. It’s not the player who will create the difference with a gesture, but he has qualities.”
“He’s a very good left-hander, so if we let him gain confidence – and I really hope this goal will give him confidence – it could be very promising for the future of the standard,” he concluded.
