Needing confidence to perform at his best level, João Klauss formed a complementary pair with Jackson Muleka, both on and off the pitch. But if Mbaye Leye gave him his confidence, it was not the case of Lukas Elsner who had demoted him in the hierarchy of Liège attackers.
Since the arrival of the Franco-Slovenian, Klauss seemed to drag his spleen and failed to be more decisive during his rise to the game (2 goals and 3 assists in his last 24 matches at Standard). It was time for a change of scenery.
In Saint-Trond, a club where he apparently did not want to sign at first, the leaders were able to be convincing both by their speech and by their financial arguments: 200,000 euros for a loan until June, 330,000 for his salary.
