If Standard is having a successful start to the season, it owes it in particular to the XXL performances of its midfielder Nicolas Raskin. The latter showed all his class, especially in the clashes once morest Bruges, Antwerp and Anderlecht. Again this weekend, once morest Zulte Waregem, the Liégeois achieved an incredible solo in the opposing area before delivering an assist. His performances obviously do not go unnoticed and the question of a selection with the Devils for the next World Cup in Qatar is increasingly on the table.
If we still do not know what Roberto Martinez will decide, the player confided in this subject to the microphone of RTL. “I don’t think it’s too early. I have the right to think regarding it in relation to the seasons I’ve had, especially when I see that other players are picked up more quickly when they haven’t played a lot of matches, so yes, I’m thinking regarding it and I’m looking forward to the decision.”explains the player to our colleagues.
Nicolas Raskin adds that he already knows the Devils coach a little. “I already had contact with Roberto Martinez last year. We made a video call with the 4, 5, 6 core U21 players likely to rise quickly. So I know he follows me and likes me. . I am waiting to be selected once. I have already been able to train once with him and he was very happy with me. I want to do it once more to show him what I am worth in daily training and also in matches under his direction”.
To see now the choice that Roberto Martinez will make on November 10, the date on which he must reveal his final list of 26 players for Qatar.
