We won’t see Dante Vanzeir again until April. How can he prepare for the playoffs without playing? He can draw inspiration from the experience of Axel Witsel and Sergio Conceiçao.
Fifty days. Between his punch last Saturday and his date of “liberation”, fifty days will pass in the life of Dante Vanzeir. Early Wednesday afternoon, the management of the Union explained that it would not appeal the decision rendered the day before by the disciplinary committee. The striker will miss the next five games and will be able to play again on April 10, for the reception of Beerschot which will close the classic phase. A week before his 24th birthday.
How will Vanzeir keep busy until then? How can he prepare for the playoffs in total shade? Can he take advantage of this period of abstinence? We asked the questions to former Standardmen who experienced the long suspensions of Sergio Conceiçao (in 2006 for throwing his shirt at the referee) then Axel Witsel (in 2008 for his tackle on Marcin Wasilewski). But also to a physical trainer. They give some advice.
