The young prodigy Konstantinos Karetsas, aged 17 and playing for KRC Genk, finds himself at the heart of a passionate debate among Belgian football specialists. With dual nationality, Greek and Belgian, Karetsas must soon choose which national team he will play for, a decision expected in March. With the arrival of a new coach at the Red Devils, many voices are calling for him to opt for Belgium.
During a discussion on the set of the show Le Vestiaire, Kevin Sauvage and Marc Delire argued insistently in favor of Belgium. Sauvage insists on the importance of not letting such talent go to waste, while calling not to compare him prematurely to figures like Eden Hazard. Delire, for his part, does not hesitate to suggest that Karetsas could become the next Kevin De Bruyne. In an intervention tinged with humor, he sent a direct message to the young player, inviting him to favor Belgium while devaluing the opportunities offered by Greece.
“Maybe he’s the new De Bruyne. If you look at us, I know you’re looking at us. Don’t go there. Stay here, there’s nothing to do in Greece. Nothing, nothing, nothing. ..”
Strategy
These calls reflect the strategic importance for the Belgian federation of convincing Karetsas, seen as a future football star. The choice of the young player, influenced by this encouragement and the team’s rejuvenation policy, could well shape the future of the Red Devils. A decision eagerly awaited in the world of football.
