Biglia was lost in an Anderlecht which no longer had anything to do with the one he knew more than ten years ago. He did not always recognize himself in this club which was undergoing reconstruction and which had suffered a series of crises and changes since his arrival.
Besnik Hasi was the main reason for his presence and daily motivation. The Argentinian did not count his efforts and the echoes about him were positive. His collaboration with his colleagues has always been healthy and constructive. He was far from ready to take on a more important role in the staff (he was number 4 in the hierarchy) but was important to the group. He was the symbol of the glorious past that the club has been chasing for years. A source of inspiration for many.
Biglia will not be replaced in the staff for Sunday’s match.
The dismissal of the Kosovar coach, his long-time friend, was the last straw. The vase was already full but overflowed. Biglia felt unhappy on a personal level. He missed his family very much. He regularly confided it to the former coach.
As soon as he had a free day, he would go down to Milan. The back and forth tired him. He was drained of all energy. Besnik Hasi had sensed this and advised him to convince his family to follow him to Brussels. The Argentinian preferred to go home.
For Sunday’s trip to Genk, Biglia will not be replaced in the staff which went from four to two elements in five days. Edward Still and Jérémy Taravel are the two survivors of the quartet.
The score could have been much higher for Anderlecht: “We were more dominant than last week”
