With 30 out of 33 Antwerp continues to maintain its excellent form. Are our analysts still impressed? “Actually, yes,” says Wim De Coninck.
“Alderweireld stands up when necessary and Ekkelenkamp is also an excellent asset.”
According to the table, the first gave “the pass of the weekend”. Filip Joos thinks that’s a shame for the rest. “Because it was only the first good pass of the weekend, on Friday evening.”
“The cool thing is that he scans four times,” Joos continues. “I think that’s great. At Alderweireld you really have to look at his eyes as an opponent.”
At KV Mechelen we saw Toby Alderweireld’s gift for the first time. Aster Nzeyimana called it “his first achievement on Belgian fields.”
“Although dropping the ball behind the defense was slightly easier than the one against STVV. But that was also a great ball,” Joos adds.
Who has better long ball? Bonucci, De Boer, Koeman and Vertonghen are the names that roll over the table. “Toby is still one level higher, I have the impression,” says Nzeyimana.
And Wesley Hoedt – the child of the bill against KV Mechelen – also received an honorable mention for his long ball from the Extra Time panel.
