Faes: "Too bad I never got a chance"

TRANSFERS - INTERVIEWS Wout Faes will try to break through at Ostend this season. In Het Laatste Nieuws he tells why he has left Anderlecht permanently. "A third loan, I did not want that, it's good that I left permanently."


Faes was a talent for the future at Anderlecht for many years, but he left without any minutes of play in the first team. "It is a pity that I did not get a chance", says the defender. When asked if he is disillusioned in the club, he hesitates. "It's just a pity that I never played an official game."

Excelsior wanted to keep Faes and he could also go with his coach from last season to NAC Breda. However, he opted for Ostend. "The presence of Gert Verheyen as coach has determined my choice, he knows me and knows that I can handle the level. In the Netherlands I played enough to be ready for adult football. Now it is up to me to get a place in the starting eleven here. "
