INTERVIEWS On Sunday, Bubacarr Sanneh faced Jens Thorup, his coach at Midtjylland. The current AA Gent coach also saw that Sanneh could not yet justify his transfer fee, but he preaches patience. "With us, he also needed 2.5 months to pick up the level."


Thorup got Sanneh from Horsens to Midtjylland in January. "He then needed 2.5 months to adjust to the higher level", Thorup still knows. In the beginning everybody wondered if he could force a place in the basic eleven, but in the end he was the best defender of Denmark. I think we will experience the same in Belgium. "

According to Thorup, Sanneh has the qualities to take the step higher. The Dane demands time and trust. "Sanneh has to feel confident, not only by himself, but also by the team, I also see the little mistakes that he makes at the moment, but they will go out. Sanneh is made for the duels with strong strikers like in Belgium."
