Croatia Wandre may have finished the 2023-2024 championship in 5th place, but it is in its ranks that we find the best gunner in the series. Her name ? Alan Brncic. The one who shook the nets 20 times this season finished alone at the top of the scorers’ ranking ahead of Marvin Van Melsen (Espoir Minerois), Gilles Conraads (Dalhem), both authors of 19 goals.
“Honestly, at the start of the season, I didn’t think too much about the scorers’ rankings” smiles the Wandruzian right flank, domiciled in Fexhe-Slins. “Besides, at the break, I was a few lengths behind the leaders. And then gradually I came up and there, I got involved in the game. I was checking whether Van Melsen and Conraads were scoring or not. There was the risk that they would pass me again since in the last five matches I have not scored!”
“My father sometimes gives me little advice”
Planting 20 roses while not playing a real leading role remains a great performance. “But without pretension, I could have been at thirty. I really missed out on some crazy things! (sic). However, I’m not going to lie: this status of top scorer in the championship is despite everything a small pride” adds our interlocutor, whose surname is synonymous with memories within Verviers regional football.
And for good reason: Alan is none other than the son of ex-pro Drazen Brncic. “He gives me advice when he has the opportunity to come and see me play but it’s cool: he doesn’t bother me too much. And then he’s very busy with his role in Tubize” continues the 26-year-old young man who has been playing under the Croatian grid for five seasons already. Even the requests linked to his status as top scorer did not change his mind. “To tell the truth, I wasn’t that much in demand because I quickly announced that I was staying at Croatia Wandre. Well, afterwards, some coaches sometimes made one or other allusion to me in a tone of voice. humor after the match but I’m not leaving. I feel good here.”
Especially since a new and major challenge awaits the Croatians during the next exercise. The Rouge et Bleu of ex-Aubelois Michaël Mager obtained their ticket for P1 via the final round. “We are a little in the dark regarding our objectives within the provincial elite. The club wants to strengthen itself because P1 is tough. It is only once the core is complete that we will be able to define our real objectives…” Alan Brncic hopes to shine again, while being aware that the first provincial will be more demanding than the P2B, obviously.
