YOUTH After the third friendly game, Besnik Hasi spoke to the press. Among other things, he made a first analysis of the summer transfers. "Keita is a profile that we don't have in our own youth," he said, among other things.
"They are all young players with potential," is how Hasi summed up the reinforcements so far.

Zoumana Keita: "A strong defender. In our own youth we lack such a profile. This summer he has worked hard, but he comes from the German third division. The rhythm is different and fatigue weighs. He perseveres, but still has some work points. Soon we will see if he is ready for 1A already."
Enric Llansana: "We have been following him for a long time and he is our most experienced asset. He he has a huge motor, a great range and good feet. He really goes into the duel at ball loss. He has already a good connection with Verschaeren."
Nathan Saliba: “Like Llansana, a player with a lot of intensity.”
Mihajlo Cvektovic: "Against Lauwe he injured his ankle. We had to contain him or he was already back on the field. Mihajlo is young, strong on the ball and can score a goal: many clubs want such a player. We have to get him ready."
