With his 50 caps with the Luxembourg national team and a Europa League match played with Standard in 2011, Anthony Moris, 32, is the Union Saint-Gilloise player with the most international experience. An experience that will be useful to the Union on Tuesday against Rangers in the third preliminary round of the Champions League.
“The European Cup is a special atmosphere“, explained the goalkeeper of the Union in front of the press.I was lucky enough to have a few campaigns with Standard, even though I was on the bench, but also in the national team. I’m happy to be back in Europe, especially when I think I was still playing against Knokke or Oudenaarde (with Virton, editor’s note) four years ago. What a long way. When you work hard in life, you get back. I am very proud of my journey.“
Champion in D1B a little over a year ago and vice-champion of Belgium last May, the Union will now return to Europe, 58 years later. “I think the group doesn’t really realize it and that’s what makes us strong too“, added Moris.”I think we will realize that in a few years when we retire. In any case, we are proud to have brought the Union back to Europe.“
