Ruud Vormer in the clash with Bruges? “I hope to receive the respect I deserve”

Ruud Vormer’s time at Club Brugge seems to be slowly coming to an end. Captain and darling of the Bruges public, the Dutchman must now be content with a role in the shadows, often left on the bench since last season, whether under the orders of Philippe Clement, Alfred Schreuder and now Carl Hoefkens.

The latter, who is having a complicated start to his adventure as Club T1, even made a strong choice by depriving himself of Vormer in his selection for this weekend’s match against OHL. Holder in the first game of the season against Genk, he remained on the bench the whole game against Eupen and only played 5 minutes against Zulte last week.

This non-selection is therefore a new blow for the 34-year-old midfielder who reacted on social networks. “Alas, I can only accept the fact that I am not part of the selection. I will continue to give my all for the Club Brugge supporters and I hope to receive the respect I deserve,” he said. he let go. A little phrase that perfectly illustrates the discomfort between Vormer and Club Brugge.

The Bruges midfielder is clogged with the presence of Balanta, Odoi, Vanaken, Nielsen, evenBerge for whom the people of Bruges are ready to splurge (not counting Rits, injured) but Vormer takes up too much space in the locker room to play second fiddle.

The Blauw-Zwart leaders therefore hope to find a solution by the end of the transfer window: according to the Nieuwsblad, the Dutchman can leave the Venice of the north for free, provided he goes abroad. But that does not interest Vormer who prefers to stay in Belgium. In this case, the people of Bruges are claiming transfer compensation when he only has one year left on his contract. According to our Dutch-speaking colleagues, Ghent and Zulte-Waregem are following the file but are not ready to go crazy.
