On Sunday, Sint-Truiden will travel to Genk for the Limburg derby. An even more special match for Adriano Bertaccini.
It was at Tessenderlo then at RFC Liège thatAdriano Bertaccini revealed himself, to gain his place in the first division with this transfer to Sint-Truiden. This will allow him to find Genk, where he was trained.
Something that seemed illusory when the Limburgers sold him for free to Austria Lustenau in 2020. Bertaccini had still spent six years at Racing. “I will do as I usually do” he first declared to Belang van Limburg when talking about the meeting.
Because before the feelings, there is first a derby against the team in form at the start of the season: “I currently consider Genk as the best team in the country, because they are first. But if we play with the same determination as against Ghent, we will definitely get a result. Yes, it will be special to play against my old club.”
A highly anticipated match
“Thorsten Fink, Matte Smets and Jarne Steuckers are the people I know best in the current team. But I’m not going to send them any messages. I haven’t heard from them since they left Saint-Trondbut it’s football,” he continues.
Bertaccini approaches the match with the rage to win characteristic of the derby but no feeling of revenge. Playing again at Genk in the future is not completely ruled out for him: “In football, everything is possible. You never know what could happen. At the time, I was not ready to take the step the step into the first team there was too big a step, but hey, I learned a lot.”
