This Sunday afternoon still, the fourth round of the Belgian Cup will also concern the Namur team of the R. Arch FC, fourth in its last D3 A championship.
The favorite training of presidents Michel Lecomte et Vincent Maillen has just eliminated other Namurois, almost to everyone’s surprise. The CS Onhaye, since it is him that it is neither more nor less one of the main candidates for the rise of D2 to the D1 ACFF.
On paper, Arquet will not be favorite by moving to the Royal Stockay St Georges on Meuse (D1 ACFF).
Liègeois, joined for a few days by Michael Lallemandthe center before 32 years spent by Dender, Deinze, Courtrai, Eupen and Liège remain on a short friendly victory against the French of Sedan (1-0). Stockay has played the D1 ACFF play-offs the past season and was further strengthened with nearly ten new heads, including Loic Besson (Namur), Benjamin van den Ackerveken (Rochefort), LUCAS KALALAL (RFC Seraing) or Ilias Bouhlal (Tirlemont).
“Frankly, I’m not going to put myself martel in mind, trying to know this team everything comment Thibault Vandeloisethe young coach who is popular in Arquet. I will have to compose a group without the experienced Benazzi, Antoine, Becquevort, De Maeyer et Whose courseall in the infirmary, on vacation or even in lack of training. We have quality and bench, so competition will play thoroughly. In eight days, we will already compete in the back -to -school derby, in the championship against the neighboring neighbors. There are places to be won in the field.
We will not leave immediately in Stockay, we will play as a compact block, taking care to treat our combinations, our movements on the ground. We also have interesting jokers. “”
Interesting jokers? Here we are.
Without getting carried away, and faced with opponents of a lower level that Stockay, two elements under the age of 21 surprised everyone. Eric vinegarFirst of all. He is 20 years old, is Luxembourg and arrives from the D2 of Weiler-la-Tour.
A student at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve, this young flank asked his arrival in Arquet.
Very quickly, his teammates could see that his passion and his speed, in a corridor would wreak havoc in D3.
But what about Herman CHEMKAM TCHIEUPKA NUPKEjust 18 years old?
Coming from the refugee center of the Red Cross in Belgrade, this St Joseph student in Namur was spotted by an educator from his school, who himself contacted Giress Mwemwe, the emblematic captain of R. Arquet FC. He first tested it in his academy.
“I quickly understood that he had football in the feetsays Giresse, the dean (39 years old!) Of the house footballers, passed through the Namur, Meux, Liège, Hannut, Ciney and Solières Caps.
He still has to work a lot tactically, the position game, but in one against one and in speed in a corridor, it is a whole beautiful potential.
My coaches at the Arquet, to whom I quickly presented it immediately had the opportunity to say that this boy can become a real nugget.
I have a lot of affection for him; He comes a little to himself in the center, without his family. He comes to training with the bus. He is an endearing boy, very humble and polite. “”
Herman tchieupka justthe threading striker only played the second parts of the second half both in Luingne (P1 Hainaut) and against Onhaye (D2 ACFF).
Its entry into the left corridor, combined with that of GIRESSE MWEMWEhimself on the bench on his return from vacation, exploded the Dinant rearguard and more than the right back Nelson Cabaraux, less bleeding in the last twenty of the match.
Herman marked twice, Giresse, once. From 0-3 to the break, it was 3-3 at the final whistle.
At the penalty session, Onhaye showed that in this exercise, faced with Namur opponents, he was far from being dominant. Arquet took the opportunity to wear the Estocade (3-2).
Already in Luingune, the pair Vinegar tchieupka just had surprised everyone, entering the game a quarter of an hour from the term when the score was 1-1. Here too Herman was responsible for making the difference by his races and his duels won and thus bring qualification to the Namurois.
“We will have to be patient with these playersstill in the learning phase, shirts with caution the T1 Thibault Vandeloise. What interests me at this stage is that the nucleus realizes that the places will be expensive. It will even be a puzzle for me (laughs).
We have a lot of qualities this year. Next to Vinegar et Tchieupka justI too have Lindones Api20 years old, trained at Standard, Charleroi and Meux. He came back from an Italian C series adventure, where he seriously injured himself. He is healed and hungry.
In September, I will also recover Ethan Breula young Frenchman currently occupied by a student job in his country. It is also all good and barely twenty. “”
Within a group pulled by Palatehalf recess holder of Meux last year, the guardian PLetinckx (ex-Perwez), the attacker Benazzi or the central defender The Maeyer (ex-on-one and aische), the offensive possibilities are richer than ever.
It remains for coaches to properly channel this in a system sometimes three behind, rather four, for the moment. Of the world in the middle of the field and higher in the game, the show may be there in the Small Swiss Namuroisein the league.
“In the meantime, let’s please ourselves on Sunday in Stockay. We are going on an internship at the time water lakes on Thursday and Friday. To better shape the groupterm Giresse Mwemwe.
Personally, I will be happy to find Miguel Dacheletwith whom I evolved two years in Meux, Ilias Bouhlal that I met in Namur. And then, Company Framewho played Verlaine and is a good boyfriend. A few years ago the field there was not extra, but this is no longer the case today. Our coach has a lot of knowledge at the Charleroi Olympic, who faced Stockay four times last year in D1 ACFF.
I know he asked for a few pipes from the Dogues, but I repeat, let’s stay humble and concentrated. We do not yet have the rhythm of a D1 ACFF in the legs.
There will be more profession in the opposing eleven. Let’s try not to be naive and complacent.
The Namur guides will rather be on the edge of the field.
Damage ? I can’t wait to see what it will give … “
* Beaten 4-1 Among the neopromus of D2 ACFF of Richelle, in the last qualifying round, the Antwerp club of KFC Sint Lenaarts brought a complaint following this match.
The opponent had scored on the match sheet a player under twenty -one who appeared in “red”: Phi-Long Karim Tran. The winger, arriving few Verviers (D2 ACFF) has not been set up.
But his name was colored in red because training allowances must soon be deducted from the account of the Visetois club by ACFF.
This Wednesday evening, the Sports Committee of the Belgian Union postponed the complaint, deemed admissible but not founded.
This money collection procedure is automatic and therefore does not prevent a player from being qualified for an official match. Sint Lenaarts, club of D3 VV, translated Saint-Léonard, in French is a section of the Belgian commune of Brecht, in the large suburbs of Antwerp.
Passing Richelle, his footballers found Hoogstrate, barely fifteen minutes from their home this Sunday. There was bound to be the prospect of a remunerative derby behind the action of its leaders.
