"I prefer to be third with own youth than second without values"

INTERVIEWS RSC Anderlecht are fully committed to the youth. And new chairman Marc Coucke does not intend to move away from that philosophy, now more than ever he sticks to the slogan "In Youth We Trust."


Marc Coucke repeated this again yesterday during his policy statement on the fan day, the key word at RSC Anderlecht is the "youth".

"We have to think about the future and together with other Belgian top teams in the long term, that is the youth, and that starts very early, even at the U7 and U8", says Coucke across from Het Laatste Nieuws.

Of course the chairman also dreams of national title number 35, but he will not drop the values ​​of the youth for that. "We prefer to be third because of our values ​​to fully focus on the youth, then to become second without values. It is now the big challenge to become a champion with such a young team and the beauty of the sport is that there will only be one champion. And if Bruno Venanzi, Bart Verhaeghe and myself say that we want to be champion, two of the three will not succeed. Maybe even all three, and another club might take the title. "
