Since 2022 and his last selection, where he found the net against Burkina Faso, Benteke no longer really has a say with the Devils. “It was my last international match on Belgian soil, at the Anderlecht stadium. It wasn’t the nicest goodbye, but I don’t take it personally. A career always has ups and downs. Above all, I take with me the beautiful memories“.
However, Christian Benteke could bring experience to a squad that is sorely lacking in it. Especially since the last locker room executives are gradually retiring internationally…”I can teach them to score goals, of course. But I can also make other players better. But my friends care more than me“.
Before a return to the Pro League? Impossible, according to the former Standard, Genk, Kortrijk and Mechelen striker: “With my family, we have completely adapted to a life far from Belgium”.
The icing without the cake for Christian Benteke in MLS: “I hate this feeling”
