Former Standard captain Sergio Conceição was celebrating yesterday at Bosuil following his great victory once morest Antwerp with Porto. Having just returned to Portugal, to prepare for this weekend’s match with his team once morest Vizela, the Porto coach wanted to pay tribute to Belgium.
At the end of the post-match press conference, Coach Conceição had already had a nice little word for Standard which made the crowd present in front of him smile.
Indeed, the former number 7 of Rouches wanted to give a kind word to the club he had just faced but he especially wanted to congratulate Standard who beat Anderlecht at the end of an anthology clasico. “I would like to congratulate Antwerp, but especially Standard Liège! Forza, Standard!”
Champions League: Antwerp leads before collapsing once morest Porto, PSG and Manchester City ensure
Belgium, a country where he played for 3 years during his playing career and where he also began his freelance coaching alongside a certain Dominique D’Onofrio, who died on February 12, 2016. With these two strong heads at the head of Standard, Rouches finished in second place in the standings, half a point behind Genk.
An era that Sergio Conceição, a true Sclessin legend, has certainly not forgotten when he returned this week with Porto to face Antwerp in the Champions League.
This Thursday, on his X account (ex-Twitter), the former captain of Standard published a photo which reveals a lot regarding his love for Standard and the respect he had for Dominique D’Onofrio since we see him smile towards the latter at the time when he officiated as T2 with the Rouches.
The caption is then a magnificent tribute to our country: “A big thank you to Belgian football, where it all started ( once more) for me!”
Simple, but very classy, Mr. Conceição!
