Tom De Sutter knows how to handle the press well: with a big smile he answers all the questions they want to know. Together with the press, he talked about nine themes.

1. Vacation
I’ve climbed a few mountains of the Tour De France by bike. Footballers Bram De Ly (Kortrijk), Bart Vleminckx (Bornem) and Sven van Ryckeghem (Oostende) joined me, so it was a fun group. I’ve been able to clear my head.

2. Double test game
Standard wasn’t more convincing then us. At the end of the normal season all numbers were in our advantage. During the first test game we were too worried about the yellow cards. Then during the second game there was that penalty and everything changed. I couldn’t handle it really well, but after a week I was ok again.

3. Champions League
We have to believe in it, even if we have to play against a strong team. The current team is stronger than the one that got beaten by BATE Borisov. Personally it would be a big step ahead. Being able to play against the best, is always good for your evolution.

4. Return of Frutos
I’ve always said I looked forward to that, and it hasn’t changed. It’s an advantage when you have several types of strikers at your disposal. Of course there’s a risk I’ll sit on the bench, but that’s how it goes. And why wouldn’t we be able to play together?

5. Topscorer
That doesn’t interest me. I was very happy with my nine goals in half a season.

6. Preparation
Last year, I missed the preparation at Cercle because of my knee injury. Now I’ll finally have a normal preparation before an upcoming season.

7. First game against Kortrijk
Bwah, not a gift. My friend Bram De Ly and Georges Leekens will wait for us and won’t hold back during the game.

8. Offensive reinforcement
I have nothing to say about that. Last season we ended with 77 points, not that bad. There’s not much missing here, just as the board said.

9. Moral
I’ve accepted the lost title. I hope I speak for everyone.
