D-1 before Belgium – Serbia, the Red Devils friendly match scheduled for this month of November. In addition to the coach Domenico Tedesco, Loïs Apenda also presented himself to the press.
“I think my status is growing more and more in the national team. My presence here on the eve of the match means nothing, I don’t know if I will be a starter. I’m only here to answer questions. I’m ready, but we’ll see. We have a real connection with Tedesco. We talked a lot regarding Leipzig before my transfer there. It’s a little easier for me coming here to know what he expects. There are similarities between the Devils and my club. It’s a bit the same thing in fact. Counter-pressing, counter-attacks, defending as a block: it’s a bit similar. We have fast players, but it’s important to be able to control a match“indicated the Belgian striker.
And to add: “I started with Romelu Lukaku in Austria. It wasn’t the worst match, I think it was just our first match together. I hope there will be others. Our playing styles can match. I have my speed, he has his size and knows how to keep the ball. We just have to work on it in training and find the connection. The hierarchy of attackers is normal. He is captain, a legend and the top scorer. I have to be behind him. We have to respect that. It’s up to me to work every day to grow and replace him one day when necessary. Maybe I’m too nice? When I have to play, I’m not always nice (smile). With a striker or two once morest Serbia, I hope we win.”
