Najar: "We will become champions"

INTERVIEWS Andy Najar may now be called an ancien at RSC Anderlecht. The Honduran does not want to give up the title either. The team enjoys football again because under Hein Vanhaezebrouck there was too much tactics.


Najar sees the difference between Fred Rutten and Vanhaezebrouck, the team plays football again on training. And not unimportant: Rutten talks to his players and gives them confidence.

"Our matches against AA Gent and Eupen were not bad, we have more control and possession of the ball, I see that we make weekly progress, under Vanhaezebrouck we had to blindly attack and that did not work, he always wanted three defenders in the back, that's not 'Anderlecht'. "

"There was just too much tactics," continues Najar, "Every day, even when the weather was bad, we stopped so often that I got cold, now there is more fun at training and Rutten talks to everyone. That gives confidence, and every player is happy at training again. "

Andy Najar has been living in Belgium for several years now, his children are in school there and already speak a nice word of Dutch. He would therefore not mind to play football for a few years in Belgium.

"I keep dreaming about England and Arsenal, but I also like Anderlecht, Anderlecht are top and have a place in my heart forever. I even have a tattoo with the club logo. My family is happy here, I could stay for ten more years. The plan is to add my titles to the club logo on my arm, also of this year, because yes, we still believe in the title, but first to secure play-off 1. "

Purple & White does not really have any great performaces at the moment, but Najar believes that there is enough quality in the team.

"Admittedly, we do not have a Jovanovic, Biglia or Suarez, but the youngsters have absolute talent, you just have to give them some time, and I'm trying to help them, because I'm already becoming an ancien now."
