Ronny Deila on the Standard transfer window: “Amallah is more relaxed, Raskin thinks a lot”

With 4 points out of 15 since the start of the season, Standard did not get off to an ideal start. In Kortrijk, Sunday, the victory is more than necessary to bring back a little serenity. For this game, Noah Ohio is still “a bit short” while captain Noë Dussenne is slightly uncertain.

In any case, Ronny Deila hopes to see his team progress. “We worked hard, we analyzed our mistakes and we tried to take positives from what was perhaps the best first half hour of our season, against Leuven”explains the Rouches coach.“We have to defend better and we still have to create more chances because it’s our only way to win games.”

To do this, the newcomer Osher Davida (21) can already be established. “He is a powerful, fast and left-handed winger”explained Deila. “He had a good attitude this week and you can feel that he is a player who is not afraid. He has already played great games in the past in Israel and he has confidence in himself. He is ready. “

Scorer last year in Kortrijk, Selim Amallah will return to the team after his suspension. In what state of mind ? “We have a little more clarity about him,” indicates the Norwegian coach, who seems to feel the wind turning concerning a possible extension of the median. “Selim is more relaxed, I don’t see him stressed. He works well and he has the quality to play in every team in Belgium. I repeat: I would like to keep him because he makes us better and that can have a beneficial effect for his future. When you see the price that a player of his quality would cost… I want to see him perform well with us.”

And Nicolas Raskin, replaced at half-time last week? How did he react? “He knows why I made this choice”, term Share. “At the moment, Nico is thinking a lot. His situation is complicated, given the expiry of his contract in June 2023. A 21-year-old player shouldn’t have to find himself in this situation. But he has charisma and personality . He’s honest with us. He needs to make a decision about his future and we need that too.” As a reminder, the Liège midfielder can count on the interest of Rangers.
