Vanhaezebrouck: "We needed someone like Saief"

INTERVIEWS Kenny Saief immediately showed at his debut that he could add value to Anderlecht. Coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck was also satisfied with the first game of the winger.


After a good pass from Saief, Gerkens headed against the post, and not much later the Israeli American also had a good chance to score. Saief showed himself a stable factor that made the team better and also let Hanni play better.

"I knew we needed a type like Saif", Vanhaezebrouck told after the game. "He has volume, recovers balls and makes actions. It is strong that he could already do this for ninety minutes now. In Ghent he spent the last few months mostly on the bench, so we must be careful not to force him now. "
