Brian Riemer is also not happy with how his midfield has been presenting itself lately. Changes will be made, because – as we wrote this week – he needs someone who will be able to keep up with the ball.
First and foremost the good news at Anderlecht: everyone except Thorgan Hazard was able to train on Friday. Dreyer and Schmeichel are therefore available and are expected back in the starting line-up.
For the time being, Yari Verschaeren only seems to have a substitute role. “Yari has been out for five weeks. We have to wait until tomorrow to see if there is a response to today’s training. But I can already say that he will certainly not start the match.”
So Riemer needs someone else who doesn’t treat the ball like a ticking time bomb. Mats Rits and Thomas Delaney, who will simply remain standing, are certainly not. Théo Leoni will therefore be sacrificed.
Do you remember when was the last time Ashimeru started? On Union indeed
We suggested to Riemer that Majeed Ashimeru could take on that role, but it is more likely that Mario Stroeykens will be taken from the flank. “You do need players who can keep up with the ball. Mario is an eight, but I had to put him on the wing.”
“Due to circumstances I have had to tinker a lot with that midfield, but you are right when you say that there was no balance. We obviously have good midfielders, but no one like Yari, who is perhaps the best in the JPL to play the ball. to keep track and create something.”
Ashimeru is seen as someone who can turn the game around in the last half hour. “Ashimeru has come in very well and it is indeed on my mind to let him start,” said Riemer, who sprayed some mist. “But the last time he started was when? At Union indeed.”
