Santini: "Standard fans will not distract me"

INTERVIEWS Standard - Anderlecht is always a special match and for Ivan Santini a little more. The Anderlecht striker had two nice years in Liège. He does not fear a 'warm' reception, but if the Standard fans endorse him, he will not bother.


Ivica Mornar (a banner with the message 'We treat traitors like in your country) and Steven Defour (the tifo with a decapitated Defour) got a hard time on their return. "I was there with that tifo from Defour", says Santini in Het Nieuwsblad. "That was far over, but if something like that were made for me, it would not take me off my head."

Santini keeps a lot of good memories about his Liège years. "My first child was born there and we won the cup, and how the Standard fans awaited us, I will never forget. Defender Kosanovic is one of my best friends and I also have a good relationship with the physiotherapists and some board members. band, but they did not ask me to return in the summer. "

Santini is obviously not Defour. "But if you blow me off, this will give me extra motivation: the Standard fans can do what they want, it does not bother me. I like a sultry atmosphere, and I did not intend to cheer when I scored. Until I scored the winning goal with that nice flight shot, when I did not have my emotions under control anymore. "
