INTERVIEWS Besides Wout Faes, Anderlecht have another promising young player to gain experience in the Netherlands. Jorn Vancamp is doing well at Roda JC. He also received a call from Anderlecht-Online and was happy to speak to us.


Jorn, how are you doing?
"It is fun here and it is going well. Right now, because in the beginning I had a hard time. I needed some time to adjust. After four years in Anderlecht, I ended up in a new environment. I left home and live alone in the Netherlands. But now I am on my way to prove myself. After the winter break things are going really well with four goals and one assist. "

Is there a lot of difference between Anderlecht's Reserves and Roda's first team?
"With Anderlecht's reserves, we played 90 minutes on the opponent's half, which is different here. In an first team there are more physical contacts and it is hard work. This is real men's football with lots of physical duels, especially if you play against the relegation like us. At Anderlecht we played more technically. In the beginning I was struggling with this, physically and mentally, but in the meantime I have adjusted and I am doing very well. The first months I was almost always replaced or I was substitute, but the past few weeks I played three times a full game. "

What do you consider as your highlight this season?
"My first goal, at the end of January against Excelsior. Then there was a pressure that fell from my shoulders. Too bad that Wout was on the bench for Excelsior. Wout and I are very close and talk a lot. We are in the same situation. He has been doing really well in recent weeks. Hopefully we can go back to Anderlecht together next season. "

At Anderlecht last season you were often on the bench during the first round and against Saint-Étienne you even started the game. After the winter break you did not get into the game selection anymore. How did you experienced this?
"When during the winter break with Kabasele and Harbaoui two strikers (who had overturned Vancamp in the hierarchy, ed.) leave, you know that a new striker will come. That was Thelin. that's why I disappeared into the background. I kept playing with the reserves and I got my goals. But I knew then that I had to temporarily go to another club to play and develop. But I am extremely grateful to René Weiler and his technical staff for the trust and the opportunities they gave me and that they made me make debut at Anderlecht. "

Do you have contact with Anderlecht on a regular base?
"Gunther Van Handenhoven sends me messages regularly and watches my games. I hope that someone from Anderlecht will watch me live this season, they promised me that. "

What do you hope for next season?
"After the game against Saint-Etienne, Anderlecht extended my contract until 2019. A sign that they believe in me. Soon my agent and supervisor will sit together with Anderlecht to discuss my future. I hope that I can prove myself during the preparation. To get some play time in friendly games, make a few goals and before you know it you're started. It is and remains my dream to make it at Anderlecht. If not next season, then hopefully after. "
