Anderlecht is less than ever Anderlecht
The extremely bleak developments at Anderlecht love Brussels and its environs in the grip. But how has it come this far that Anderlecht in its biggest identity crisis ever? And what is the solution? We make up the balance. One thing is for sure: Anderlecht is a Anderlecht not more.

BrusselIn January 2013 tried to Anderlecht captain Lucas Biglia by staying away from the winter training a transfer to force the issue. The Argentine klasbak would eventually have six months remain, and the purple & white even to the title help. But his action was a sign on the wall: a leading player, the leader, not more for the prestigious club from the capital of Europe wanted to play. Because he felt that he was on the spot trappelde.
Six years later we can say with certainty: Biglia is the last player, however, plagued by meager statistics, the DNA of Anderlecht completely embodied. Elegant and klasrijk on, but also off the field. Aware that he is at a club of standing belongs to. And a winner of the pur sang. Hungry for prices. After Biglia’s Youri Tielemans there’s still the closest to me, but by his standoffish attitude, and the short period that he was in the A-team was positive about the Anderlecht-fans are still more with that blonde guy from Argentina. The incarnate Anderlecht-DNA.
Players don’t want more
In October 2010, wanted to Anderlecht’s 18-year-old Kevin De Bruyne from Genk remove for 3.5 million euros. There never was so hard, and laughed in Genk, De Bruyne was also quickly know that he is not to Anderlecht wanted. In the meantime a absolute City-all-star-promoted De Bruyne made it painfully obvious that young Belgian football players Anderlecht is no longer as the highest saw. It may have been so, but now it seems Anderlecht, not even a step more. The former Anderlecht-manager Van leuven luc van wassenhoven cringed. Chairman Roger Vanden Stock said between the teeth of the ‘thick neck’ and ‘conceited’. In the meantime, it is commonplace: the appeal of Anderlecht on talents is hardly. She falls for the charm of the club.
“If you ask a supporter what that DNA is, and says what about spot’s. But it is also a fighting spirit. That is now completely gone’
Ex-player Anderlecht
January 2014. Herman Van leuven luc van wassenhoven presented his wintertransferlijstje: Thorgan Hazard, Michy Batshuayi and Steven Superior. He resisted heaven and earth, but none of the three Belgians came to Anderlecht. They did not want or Anderlecht, they could not pay. That is also the reality: since the explosion of tv money, especially in England, is financially a very unequal battle. About players of the level Rensenbrink, Lozano, Olsen, and Arnesen must Anderlecht no more dreams.
Youth players?
Can youth players than the big stars to replace? Anderlecht has, after all, still the best youth groups in Belgium. The youth teams of the national U13 to U16 are first or second. If we put the Belgians in the first class under the microscope, provides Anderlecht, even there, the most players ever school ran under coordinator Jean Kindermans. Anderlecht is leader for the national youth teams.
The secret lies not only the numbers, but also in the quality of the trainers, the scouts and the vision that is being trained. All merit for the Vanden Stock and Of leuven luc van wassenhoven, Coucke wants to further develop.
Lukasz Teodorczyk didn’t fit with purple-and-white, but it was a good investment. belga
Los, however, of the fact that talents only if the parents are clear have a little shelf life – Lukaku, Tielemans, Dendoncker – it stops the natural progression to the first team too much. Of course, for some of the talents in the first team a bridge too far and that it will always remain. But now the first team quality not top, this should offer opportunities to the youth. Lawrence, Milic, Obradovic, Makarenko, … Running such players with some patience and an even more intense guidance was not around in the youth of Anderlecht? Anderlecht is already too long caught in the snapshot, where the rising talent is still not good enough, is considered the club of euro’s to spend on subtop, which is usually the level omlaaghalen and the talents block in their development.
The youth is in a well-defined vision trained, based on the DNA of the club. But that vision stops at the gate of the first team. The vision missed the recent years of stability.
Of leuven luc van wassenhoven was also an increasingly opportunistischer policy. ‘South America, especially Argentina, is the mecca’, said the general director after he Frutos, Biglia, pareja coppia and Leiva four Argentines had been achieved. When the market there became more difficult, changed From leuven luc van wassenhoven just as easy of idea. Then went to steven to Africa, then on to the Balkans, in between, was also used on the youth to finally to get bogged down in the network of football agent Mogi Bayat. “His strength is that he is superfluous players still lose at a good price’, answered Of leuven luc van wassenhoven their band. He forgot to say that Anderlecht are also players, without having the least sex appeal as Nsakala and appiah notes of Bayat moést bringing.
Lawrence, Milic, Obradovic… with a little patience and guidance walk such players still around in the junior
As the end of the period Vanden Stock Of leuven luc van wassenhoven approached, it was Anderlecht becoming less and less a football club. Driven by the pressure of the results, the battle with the glorious past and the financial accounts were compromised, the identity of the club. It was not only to win. It was also to sell well.
Players were not taken to the squad to strengthen. The were investments. Teodorczyk was not a typical Anderlecht player. Technically limited, and in addition to the field is a fool without an ounce of savoir-vivre. Horrible for the institute. ‘I know’, said Of leuven luc van wassenhoven after he the option in the contract of the Pool had been lifted. “But it is a type of that you’re in England or Germany easily for many millions.’
Of leuven luc van wassenhoven, however, was not stupid. He had sufficient touch with the club and was smart enough to make the supporters are always on their beck and call. Stanciu is the biggest bargain in the history of Anderlecht – for ten million euro, bought for four million sold, but his profile fit perfectly in the DNA. So did Of leuven luc van wassenhoven in almost every transfer a purchase on the wish of the fans tracks: Biglia, Boussoufa, Hanni, Hassan and Markovic to name but a few.
And then there was Weiler
The previous board was in error with the choice of René Weiler as a trainer. His predecessors John van den Brom, a Dutchman, and of course, a lover of the ball, and Besnik Hasi remained so good and so evil it could be the style faithful. Also Hugo Broos, Frank Vercauteren and Ariel Jacobs felt that before, well, but worked with the limitation of the modified ratios on the transfer list.
Weiler destroyed the already quasi leeggehaalde porseleinenkast at all. He exchanged the little adventure that was all the way in to anxious twijfelvoetbal. “Stop with the past life, so you win no prizes”, he stressed several times. Only thinking of the short-term, without respect for the DNA. The Swiss became champion, but rarely was a title with so many doubts celebrated as that of 2017.
Last summer, threw Coucke and sporting director Luc Devroe which cunning way of working overboard. There was no player will be attracted in the farthest distance in the DNA-profile fit. That was Of leuven luc van wassenhoven never happen to you. It shows a lack of knowledge of the Anderlecht-house. From Coucke, we can still understand, but of Brussels Devroe?
Winning mentality
“If you ask an Anderlecht-supporter-now what that DNA is, start which about what about spot’s’, said ex-player Olivier Deschacht. “That is but a part of the story. It is also a fighting spirit. The will to win. If there is such as Antwerp still five minutes to play, then klonterde Anderlecht together to still to want to win. That is now completely gone.’
That analysis is correct. Anderlecht is for hogeschoolvoetbal, it was always to win. Anderlecht was a symbol for a top sports climate. By the facilities on technical, medical and organisational level to continuously optimize, the club was able to in spite of the reduced quality already in Belgium, the maximum stay requirements of the players.
In addition, there were also always a few players in the team that a wall went. Rensenbrink paraded through when he felt like it, but the granite Jean Thissen, Gilbert Van Binst, or Michel De Groote thought not to overstapjes or dubbelpassen. In addition to Morten Olsen was the Croatian killer Luka Peruzovic. Alin Stoica and Walter Baseggio turned on the midfield, but behind it was Yves Vanderhaeghe. Vincent Kompany was flanked by Hannu Tihinen. Roland Juhasz, Marcin with wasilewski and Olivier Deschacht were the workers when Lucas Biglia and Mbark Boussoufa of the beautiful weather made. Also that winning mentality belongs to the Anderlecht-DNA.
In the meantime, it seems Anderlecht is a culture of defeatism. The eternal titelkandidaat exudes a fatal lack. Players sticking with meaningless statements their head in the sand. Shrug is the favorite pastime has become.
Chips in place of champagne
The morals and customs have changed, but at Anderlecht they will always be of style and class. Plush and status jostling each other there for 50 years. Legendary presidents like Albert Roosens and consistent, and Roger Vanden Stock, were real Anderlechtenaars and that the current president Marc Coucke not be said. Roger Vanden Stock and Herman Van leuven luc van wassenhoven were also heavily dealt with, but they kept in all the circumstances worthy.
Anderlecht was to modernise, but Coucke has come to that culture gemorreld. Ex-chairman Roger Vanden Stock is not more look. The busts of the ex-presidents are to a corner in the stadium moved. The name of the stadium will be changed. There were chefs attracted and the vip subscriptions went up to an altitude of 4,500 euros per season. The offered food and beverages in quantity is reduced to at most a few chips. For drinks should even be separately paid. Chips in place of champagne. It is hard to.
Coucke get on as chairman Pro League
Marc Coucke will give up after one year all viewed as the chairman of the Pro League. The 54-year-old East-Flemish eight, the function is no longer compatible with his position as the Anderlecht chairman. Not in terms of time but also not ethical.
‘The presidency of an important organ such as the Pro League is, for me, is no longer compatible with the presidency of a football club’, motivates Marc Coucke his dismissal. “My priority is today in Anderlecht. In the short term, there will be various conflicts of interest between the club and the Pro League arise. In the interest of the credibility of the Pro League and myself, I have no decisive role to play in important cases.’
‘I calls for an independent chairman of the Pro League, which have sufficient affinity with the football, but that in no way with a Belgian club is connected’, stressed Coucke also.
Coucke has, since his appointment, some of the reforms, which is the proposal to reduce the power of the brokers to limit the most important. In addition, the discussion about a new tv contract on the program. There are rumours that some of the top clubs with the idea of playing the tv-rights for his own account to sell. Club Brugge threatened that. You might think Anderlecht. That can, of course, not as Coucke, chairman of the Pro League, the collection of professional clubs, continues. (lvdw)
