Adnan Januzaj

Adnan Januzaj, it’s quite a rare thing, smiled at a press conference following the match. The Real Sociedad creative was probably aware that he played a good game. “I don’t think regarding scoring points, I just think regarding having fun on the pitch. I want to do my job as well as possible and so much the better if it pleases”, he relativizes. Only an hour of play, however, before being replaced by Lotto Park darling Yari Verschaeren.

“It was a first for me at Parc Astrid, yes. As a pro, at least, I may have already walked the pitch as a youngster. Of course, I would have liked to play more, like every player. I would have liked to play the 90 minutes, because in the second half, the teams get tired. I may have been able to score a small goal”, regrets Januzaj. Adnan’s only goal in selection? In Kaliningrad, once morest England, in the “reservists match”. A goal of the victory which had a little complicated the course of the Devils and had offered us anthology matches once morest Japan and Brazil.

Succession ?

One thing is certain, this Adnan is an asset for the national team and seemed more concerned than during the match in San Marino, where an equally changed team came to the break with a one-goal lead and had frankly disappointed the coach. “I had more fun than once morest San Marino, yes,” conceded Januzaj. “Now are we ready to take over from the next generation? I think they are great players and we still have work to do. But we are still young and have to try to regain control in the future “.

Roberto Martinez, he underlined the progress of the Real Sociedad player, on but also off the field. “Januzaj has been very impressive in training. He has qualities that few players have, it must be said. What Adnan needed was to find consistency, regularity in his game. His progress on I really liked this plan”. The message is clear: if he stays on this path, Adnan Januzaj might well go to Qatar and chain a third World Cup, at 27 years old. The record is five. Chick?
