No one is better placed than the Belgian international to point out the qualities of Antwerp. If the core has lost experience, it remains no less dangerous. “The team has changed, lost experience while gaining liveliness. Players risk playing on instinct, with a bit of tactics. We will have to be vigilant, while welcoming the absence of Amar Zouggaghi, who is suspended. Having played with him, I can say that he is one of the best pivots in Belgium. The fact that he’s not playing is a good thing for us.” Since his return to FT Charleroi, Ibrahim Adnane feels like a fish in water and intends to lead his colors to the play-off final. “I feel very good, I have been put in good conditions since my return. I also feel much better physically, I score and I am decisive. I’m very happy with it. Collectively, we experienced a little hiccup at home against Hasselt who was more motivated than us that evening. But I believe that we have had a good start to the championship after having carried out good preparation. If we were complete, we could also take it to Anderlecht. But there are still a lot of things to improve and we know very well that we must gain momentum throughout the season to be 100% ready for the play-offs and compete for the championship title.“, confesses Ibrahim Adnane.
