Arthur Vermeeren was happy with his match. “The most important thing was to win it,” said the Great Old midfielder. “The coach showed that he trusted the youngsters. I think we responded. We did our job. The playing system was a bit comparable to that of Antwerp. We had to keep the organization and try to be dangerous on the counter-attack. This match is good for confidence in view of the match on Sunday. We want to win it in order to consolidate our first place . If I hope to be in the selection for the Euro? I take it game by game and we will see.”

The man who wore the captain’s armband with Antwerp once morest Porto in the Champions League believes that he is not yet as dominant in midfield as he is at club. “The most important thing was not to make mistakes. I wasn’t really stressed, although it was obviously something different than with Antwerp. I didn’t feel like someone taking an exam, but I was proud to represent my country. It’s a shame that the match was played without an audience. But I suppose my parents were thrilled in front of the TV. I felt very comfortable in the group. And my song? Fortunately, I already sang it last time (laughs).”
Olivier Deman, too, was satisfied. “For my first, I’m happy,” said the Werder Bremen player. “It’s the first time this team played together. It’s a great result and we kept the score. In the second half, I was able to play a little higher. We were able to be dangerous on a few occasions. The coach wanted to see what we were worth once morest a good team like Serbia. If I hope to play this Sunday? I have to be patient, because the qualification was obtained by other players.”
Zeno Debast was the revelation of the match as a right-back. “It’s the first time I played anywhere other than central defense,” said the Anderlecht player. “When the coach announced the team, I was surprised. But I told myself that I had to savor the playing time that I received and that’s what I did. I thank the coach for giving me this opportunity. We played with a lot of young people and we showed a good mentality, even when we had more difficulty in the second half. time.”
