The first one chose what you do when you return to Belgium?

The first one I choose what I do when I return to Belgium is to go home, see my friends, my family and eat fries (laughs). I live in Brussels, in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert. This is even where I was born.

Your favorite Belgian dish?

French fries ! This is the basis. There is really a very big difference between Belgian fries and the others, I tell all the French people that I meet. Frankly, it has nothing to do with it. I’m not so I couldn’t explain it precisely, but I feel like Belgian fries are crispier. There is one more thing, I really advise you to taste them.

Your favorite Belgian singer?

There are quite a few. I have a good friend of mine who raps, there is Frenetik who is not bad, Gotti Maras, a good friend of mine called Black Mozart. There are really quite a few good artists.

What is there in Belgium and nowhere else?

The joy of living. People are very warm and welcoming in Belgium. I don’t think you can find that anywhere else.

Your favorite Belgian footballer?

There too there are a lot of them, because there are a lot of players I identify with. The best of the best, the one who has world class at the moment, is Romelu Lukaku. But I identify more with Axel Witsel or Yuri Tielemans because they evolve at my post.

Your favorite Belgian expression?

Usually when I’m on the pitch I tend to drop a few little words in Dutch depending on the situation. And often, after the game my teammates come back to me and ask me: “But what did you say there? “. I often let go of little expressions like “Komop! “, Which means” Go! “.
