“As a central defender, it’s a great honor to be voted “Player of the Month”, because it’s not that often. It proves that my time in Reims is successful and appreciated. The captain’s armband (which I wear when Yunis Abdelhamid is not there) is also a great proof of confidence. It doesn’t change much in my behavior because I always talk to my teammates to encourage them, but it’s also fun.”

In all the teams where he has been, Wout has worn the captain’s armband, whether in Youth League with Anderlecht (1/2 final in 2016, at the U17 World Cup Belgians in Chile (Bronze medal in 2015), or with the imps (21 games).
“To be a leader, c’is probably something I have in me. And it’s accepted by my teammates so it’s good”.
