He plays great. I don't think I've ever seen a player his age play so well. I enjoy that.”
About the match: “I think we deserved to win. We were good, especially in the first half hour. Union was a bit weaker, but I think that was down to us. When the crowd is behind us like that, we can achieve a lot.”
And Llansana firmly believes that Anderlecht is capable of great things. “Union and Club Brugge should start worrying: Anderlecht is coming. We're not afraid of anyone. We can take on anyone,” he says confidently.
