“And yet, two days ago, he was all frozenreports Jelle Coen, a very happy trainer. It’s incredible what he was able to do despite the shock of the temperatures. But he showed very good things: intensity but also his acceleration, his speed. He also knows how to look for depth, which was interesting because against the RAAL, we had to and we often changed our game.”
The few supporters present at the Tivoli must also have appreciated these debuts. But were certainly surprised to see Amadou Diawara on the bench. The 27-year-old Guinean was missing at Lotto Park. He had not played for the Mauves for thirteen months and a match against Antwerp in December 2023. Announced as a possible departure, the midfielder made a successful return, playing a good 30 minutes.
“Joren Dom was suspended, so there was a place for an older playerexplains Coen. Amadou had an impressive mentality with us. But also during training with the first team. We need these kinds of players. He directly changes the game, he calms down… We see that he is a Champions League player. He has been training for a few weeks with the A’s but also with us. Is he a recruit for us? We’ll see for next week. We need to discuss it with the club.”
