In Standard, there is a tradition of guards and Matthieu Epolo is part of it. Even if he sometimes had trouble last season, he is indeed a holder this season.
A young goalkeeper who continues to learn but who is already a serious candidate for the national team. The question was to know which one since it always has the choice between Belgium and the Congo. Having played with the Belgian age teams, he was part of the Congolese preselection for the next rally.

Not retained by leopards
In the end, the leopards did not retain the standard of the standard in the final selection and it is therefore with the Belgian U21 that the Liège will be called during the international break. If it is not yet a question of seeing him in the group of Rudi Garcia, he could make in the near future his visit to the first team.
Before him, Arnaud Bodart had been expected to become the successor of Thibaut Courtois. After a complicated end of a complicated course at the standard, he ended up finding a way to prove himself in Metz.
Courtois successor?
Now in Lille, he does not have the opportunity to play with the DOGUES and should therefore not be taken into account for the Red Devils. It remains to be seen if Epolo can take this step. If courteous remains holder, he arrives very slowly at the end of his adventure and Garcia will therefore have to ensure the transition.
For Epolo, a summons with the Congo is not to be excluded and it will therefore be necessary to wait before knowing the final decision taken by the player with regard to his future international.
