"Bornauw could become the big boss of the team in two years"

Hein Vanhaezebrouck should again give way to the young Thursday against Spartak Trnava in a match of Europa League without stakes for the Brussels. "Since we have a lot of absentees, we have other players who will get on the pitch, players coming back from injury, players who are worse off ", added to our microphone the Anderlecht coach who will have the opportunity to evaluate its core.

HVH does not want moreover "not make a movie " on the use of young people but the new sports director Michael Verschueren brought the subject back to the table this Wednesday in a press conference saying that ''two players will have, every year, the chance to stand out in the first team. "

In keeping with the new philosophy of the club, Vanhaezebrouck has claimed what has been done since his arrival with a balance sheet, quantitatively and qualitatively, rather positive. "Two young people each year? I am quiet for at least 5 years then. I have already taken 10. To launch two per season, it would be rather a step back. These ten players have done well. Bet on young people, you have to do it. Certainly here in Anderlecht where the quality of young people is very high."

You have to find the right mix with some experienced players in each line to bring more stability

Proud of his work of valorization, Vanhaezebrouck did not give all the merits and insisted on the new way of working at the club. "We changed Anderlecht's DNA a bit by taking pro coaches for the hopes. Coaches who work in another way compared to coaches usually engaged in training. It is important to prepare these young people for the first team. With the old system, it would be more complicated to be able to take so many players so fast in the kernel A. "

This youthful potential of Anderlecht is a double-edged sword. To progress, newcomers in the first team inevitably commit inexperience errors that are not always caught by other players in the kernel that are not particularly old either. Hence the idea of ​​intervening in the transfer market.

"You have to find the right mix with some experienced players in each line who may be able to add a little more stability to this team. "

Vanhaezebrouck does not necessarily look for leaders from outside, especially since he is convinced he has potential at hand. "The leader who stands in defense is Sebastiaan Bornauw. He has everything for that and we must not wait until he is 25 to become a leader. He will become more and more the boss of this defense. In two years, he could even become the big boss of the team. "
