Proto: "Next year, I want to play"

It is uncertain if Silvio Proto will still be playing for Anderlecht next season. "Another year as a second keeper is not what I want", he told "Het Laatste Nieuws" today. "That doesn't meet my ambitions. In June I will decide"

"It's a discussion I have already had with Herman Van Holsbeeck. He understands me", says Proto. "I have to play in order to make progress. I have got several proposals, but I keep them for me"

"If I stay, next season has to be different. I want to start at least at an equal level with Zitka. But even that is difficult. And I am not going to wait until Zitka is too old. If he stays first keeper, I have to find a solution."

Before he was injured, he was the uncontested number one keeper of the Red Devils. Nowadays, all that seems very far away. "But one day I will be keeping for the national team again. That's my ambition!"
