Marvin Van Melsen of Espoir Minerois crowned P2B Golden Ball: “I have been following the competition since I played in the first team” (+ final ranking)

The former forward of Raeren-Eynatten, Ster-Francorchamps and La Calamine was a great architect of the Espoir Minerois champion title. “I missed out on the top scorer title by one goal, so this personal award is really satisfying for me”, admits not without emotion Marvin Van Melsen. The difference in the ranking, the number nine made at the break, during which he collected no less than 31 points from the other coaches. The latter did not forget him at the end of the season, since he collected 24 new points. Very often praised by his coach Gino Piol, he never forgot to highlight his slaughter and his sense of passing, in addition to his scoring talents. “It makes me happy to see that I haven’t been judged solely on my goals. I’ve been following your competition since I played for the first team. I love the concept.”

What does he think of his runner-up Eladio Ramirez? “I had a head-to-head clash with him when I was at Aubel and he at Dison. I never had the opportunity to talk about it again with him. I can only say that it is forgotten by my side, and that I am proud to finish in front of one of the best players in the province. I would love to have him on my team.”, he emphasizes. This 31-year-old mason, father of a six-year-old boy (who plays for FC Trois-Frontières) and a two-and-a-half-year-old girl, has more than just football and family as his passions. “Given the career of my brother Kevin (Editor’s note: former professional cyclist), I like cycling. I’m not made for this sport, but I like watching it in real life or on TV. I also play tennis during the break periods.”

The Minerois Hope season has been almost perfect, and that’s mainly due to one thing, according to Marvin. “The atmosphere in the group was fantastic. The group was very united, and that helped us achieve our goal.” A rise to P1 that he will not experience with Espoir Minerois, since he has decided to follow his coach Gino Piol to Blegny. “We are told that we would move up to P1. If that is the case, I think we can play for the middle of the ranking. If it is in P2, we will clearly play for the title”he clarifies. “And I would like to dedicate this Golden Ball to my parents. They did a lot for my brother’s career, but that did not stop them from coming to see me every weekend, as well as following my sister in basketball My father worked nights, and sometimes he didn’t sleep all weekend so he could be present for all our activities.he slips.

He also said…

About the Gino Piol Method: “Before an important match, I think it was against Blegny, Gino decided to replace the Thursday session with bowling. I told him that perhaps it was not the thing to do before an important match . He told me not to worry that we would win on Sunday…and we won.”
