Due to a lack of european games, coach Jacobs does not apply to a rotation system. Some, like Thomas Chatelle, are stuck on the bench, which is not easy for him to take.


« I started only two games : the home game against Bate Borisov and against Charleroi » he explains in la Dernière Heure. « This is very frustrating. Last season, and despite all my injuries, I proved I could add something more to the team. This is a downward spiral : the less you play, the less rythm and feelings you get. »

Against Charleroi, he was sacrificed at half time. « That was not easy to take because I honestly thought I was one of the most dangerous players on the pitch even if the team wasn't very fit. I has been a long time I haven't felt that good, on a physical level. But all I have to do is accept decisions and explanations from the coach. »

Is Chatelle thinking of a transfer ? « I'm not giving up. I was important to Anderlecht in big games, such as clashes against Bordeaux and Bayern Munich. I just want the coach to trust me again and be in the starting line-up again. Talking about how long it will take, I have no deadline in my head. »
