When the six Antwerp players finally settled in front of the press, the two placed in the center were quite logically Toby Alderweireld and Faris Haroun, somewhat hidden by the trophy. Surrounded by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Arthur Vermeeren, Ritchie De Laet and Michel-Ange Balikwisha, the former Devils are the natural leaders of the group.
When the defender arrived at the Great Old this summer, he inherited the armband of the medium, plagued by many physical problems this year. “Since the start of the season, Toby has been wearing itbegins Haroun. But as soon as he arrived, he came to find me to tell me that we (the captaincy) two would do.”
A touch of class, symbolized by this shot which represents them in the process of lifting the Belgian Cup with two. “It’s really nice to end this waysaid Haroun, who has only six Champions playoff games left before officially hanging up his boots.
Although he has yet to reveal in what role, he will still be at the club next year. Alongside Alderweireld, therefore, for whom success is all the tastier. “It’s fantastic”, simply replied the purebred Antwerper, just before Vincent Janssen and company came to interrupt the press conference to sprinkle their teammate with champagne. “It’s easy to say that I came here to play trophies. It is now done. I say it with my hand on my heart: this band is the best I’ve played with. It’s a great feeling to lift a trophy with them. A dream come true.”
Compliments that are all the more pleasing coming from a player who has worn the colors of Ajax, Atlético Madrid or even Tottenham. Not to mention that he has collected 127 caps with the Devils, played in two Champions League finals… But it is better not to mention his entire record in front of his teammates, at the risk of seeing them chamber him. “Ah well done Toby”they all launched, applauding and laughing.
