Hugo Siquet’s perfect player, between Standard, Bruges and the Devils

“I’m going to take Mehdi Carcela’s left foot. When I was at Standard, he played a little less and was a little late, but I saw things that I rarely saw. It was something For the heading game, I would rather give Hans Vanaken He is already tall, but he also has very good timing and a very good sense of positioning, too, he always knows where to position himself. when to give the ball or keep it.”

“For power, Openda. Not because he is the strongest, like Romelu, but because he has a more complete physique. For explosiveness, Jérémy Doku. In one on one, he is one of the best players in the world, if not the best. His technical level is very, very high.

“Vanheusden’s leadership. I didn’t have the opportunity to play a lot with him at Standard, but he had this natural leadership. When he spoke, everyone listened, which is not always common in the current football. There is always one or the other who doesn’t listen, but he was very respected.”
