For the record, it will be remembered that it was William Balikwisha, who returned from a loan to CS Bruges and then another from MVV Maastricht, who scored Standard’s first goal in this preparation campaign. Quite a symbol for a player who intends to show Philippe Montanier that he has sufficient qualities to play a prominent role. More generally, Standard has very widely won Wednesday at the Academy, for its first friendly outing, beating Waremme 5-0. It was Dragus and again Balikwisha, again served by Bastien, who had set the numbers at 3-0 at half time, while strikes from Carcela and Fai, on two occasions, had been repulsed by the crossbar and that the Rouches had spared other great possibilities by Dragus, Pavlovic, aligned to the left back position, and Vanheusden.
With a whole other in the second period and with the young Nekadio, Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Ntelo and Tapsoba, the Standard was a little less concrete, Amallah missing, shortly after the hour of play, the conversion of a stroke repair, before an attempt by Ntelo hits the amount. It was Gavory who was 4-0 ten minutes from the end of the game, on a new penalty obtained for a fault by the waremmian goalkeeper Lemire on Tapsoba who had taken speed. Just before Joachim Carcela gives the score a package look on a specific service of Amallah.
Let us also point out that Philippe Montanier deplored the absence of six players: Sissako, injured for the entire duration of the preparation, but also Lestienne and Oulare, sick, Cop, who complains of pain in the lower back, Dussenne, victim of a knee problem that resumed training the same day, and Cimirot, as a simple precaution. Affected in the back of the thigh, the Bosnian had not trained since the beginning of the week. Next meeting for the Rouches on Saturday at 4 p.m. opposite Kortrijk.
