How have Gent been doing on the pitch lately?
Kristof: “They’re not having their best season so far but that’s because they lost a number of key players in the summer and have just replaced them with new ones. They lost, for instance, Sven Kums, a deep-lying playmaker who is on loan at Udinese. Matz Sels, who was twice elected as Goalkeeper of the Year in Belgium, joined Newcastle, where he is second choice goalkeeper at the moment and they lost striker Laurent Depoitre to Porto. They were very important players so since then, the manager, Hein Vanhaezebrouck, has been looking for the right system.
