Brian Riemer gave Colin Coosemans his first 45 minutes in almost three years of Anderlecht against Cercle Brugge. In the meantime, another goalkeeper was dealing with his frustrations. Mads Kikkenborg, who was acquired in the winter, must have had some green laughter.
Kikkenborg is not used to sitting on the bench, but the pecking order is currently clear in the purple and white. The young Dane is only the third goalkeeper. And he has a hard time with that.
Riemer said on Wednesday that Coosemans is the second best goalkeeper in the selection. Words that will have hit home hard for Kikkenborg. “I didn’t come here to sit on the bench or even in the stands,” he said recently in an interview with Tipsbladet.
“I had hoped for more, but I will continue to work hard. I see that I am regaining my best level in training after a few difficult weeks.”
Integration will also play a role. It is the first time he left Denmark. “I’m staying in a hotel for the time being. I also had an Airbnb. There are quite a few practical matters to arrange. It was a shock to play abroad for the first time.”
“But don’t imagine me sitting at home crying every night. I could count on the help of other Danes, especially my former teammate Anders Dreyer, with whom I also went to high school. Thanks to them I feel less lonely .”
