There is no national title for RSC Anderlecht this season. However, Jan Vertonghen and his colleagues were very close.
Last weekend’s defeat to Club Brugge was a major dampener on RSC Anderlecht’s season. Although the match also showed exactly what the Purple & White need to take a step forward next season.
Jan Vertonghen himself felt this well. “We have to become more ball-controlled. There are still steps to be taken in this regard,” the captain told Het Nieuwsblad.
Obviously, the numerous injuries at the end of the competition, including Vertonghen himself, did the team no good. “There are people who can play an important role in that – Verscheren, Hazard, Achimeru, Struijkens – but many of them were not 100 percent in the end.”
European football
Although it is also useful to see what happens during the summer mercato. There are several players in the picture for transfer. “It remains to be seen who will leave and who will join. I particularly hope that the progress of the young players continues to produce great talent.
Vertonghen himself is putting forward a name that could make significant progress next season. “I’m thinking highly of someone like Tristan Degrave. He’s not ready yet to start, but he needs to get more and more minutes. The fact that we’re playing European football will give these boys more opportunities. There are more games.”
