“Antwerp is not doing badly, not being a samba”
Who will be crowned national champion in 2022? Hockey hero Alexander Hendrickx is already hoping for Antwerp. The Olympic champion is a big fan of The Great Old One.
“My passion for Antwerp goes very far”, he tells The Sunday. “As a child I lived in Deurne, a few streets from the Bosuil. My parents even followed all the matches in Europe before, even when we played the final at Wembley in 1993. I still watch every so often, but there is often an overlap with my matches.”
Hendrickx is satisfied with present-day Antwerp. “I think Antwerp is not doing badly this season. There are a lot of new players and okay, our football is not the most, but for me winning 1-0 is also good. It should not be samba. Playing well and yet you are nothing to lose. It would be nice if we could win the title. Then Antwerp is guaranteed to be on fire,” he concludes.
Antwerp is currently fourth, ten points behind Union, but has played one less match. The match against KV Kortrijk was postponed.
