"Worked hard in silence"

INTERVIEWS Hannes Delcroix is ​​still out, so Elias Cobbaut was allowed to start right away after almost seven months of absence due to an ankle injury. The defender finished the match but had a hard time at the end, which is normal after such a long absence.


"In any case, it is very nice to be back", Cobbaut said afterwards, "It did get heavy towards the end, cramps and stiff hamstrings, but I am willing to do that. I kept working hard in silence and I'm glad I was able to help the team today. But there is still work to be done, we are only in the semi-finals, so we are not there yet."

Red Devils

Roberto Martinez was sitting in the stands of the Lotto Park yesterday. In 2020 Cobbaut was part of the Red Devils, but Cobbaut does not yet think about a selection with the Red Devils. "Let me first perform at Anderlecht, then we'll see. I can say that from childhood it has been a dream to go to a big tournament with the national team."
