RSC Anderlecht will resume its season next Sunday with an away match against bottom KV Kortrijk. It will be interesting to see how coach Brien Riemer will arrange his basic pawns. After all, since the last match he has acquired some more big weapons.
Despite the transfer violence in the summer months, RSCA stepped up its game at the end of the mercato. This is what happened with the arrival of Thorgan Hazard. The balance is that the former Golden Boot will quickly get a starting spot once he is top fit again.
Anderlecht also managed to sign Kasper Schmeichel. The Danish goalkeeper came to Lotto Park with an impressive record, which includes the Premier League. However, RSCA took advantage of his transfer-free status to sign the experienced final player.
Clean sheets for national team
However, RSCA had previously attracted a new goalkeeper in the form of Maxime Dupé. The Frenchman also left a solid impression in the first matches of the season. But there is a chance that he will have to give up his starting place again after a few weeks.
Schmeichel proved this week that he is match fit despite the fact that he was without a club for months. For example, he started in goal for the Danish national team in the two recent European Championship qualifiers against San Marino and Finland. He always managed to keep his nets clean.
Battle for first choice
Earlier, sporting boss Jesper Fredberg also emphasized that Schmeichel was not brought in to just sit on the bench. “I would be lying if I said that Schmeichel does not have the ambition to become the first goalkeeper here. Dupé has the same ambition, it is up to them to fight out who will be number one,” said the Sports CEO. The ball is therefore in Riemer’s court, who will have to make a difficult decision.
