Talentscout Dobbelaar: "You have talent or you don't"

OTHER Talent scout Franky Dobbelaar also occasionally scouts at BX Brussels, the club also has ties with Vincent Kompany. A collaboration between BX Brussels and RSC Anderlecht is not there yet, but there is a chance that it will happen. Guy De Smet of the youth academy of purple and white also confirms this.


"BX works in an accessible way and that is interesting for us," says De Smet, "Anderlecht no longer have a provincial youth organization. And that is actually a shame. Guys where the talent did not yet manifest could play for Anderlecht. " In Neerpede itself the emphasis is more on football talent.

Franky Dobbelaar is talent scout for RSC Anderlecht, he brought Yari Verschaeren to Neerpede at the age of 9. "I saw him with Kruibeke against Beveren and he was already incredible at the time and was only 7 years old. A year and a half later I said that we really had to go get him. Talent is talent. You have that or you don't have that and you see that very early. "
