Milan, De Ketelaere: “I love Bruges but I’m ready to leave”

The attacking midfielder targeted by the Rossoneri in an interview last April: “I played with great champions but I’m not satisfied. A while ago I would have been afraid to leave my club, but now …”

Milan tries to tighten the time to give Pioli the 21-year-old Belgian attacking midfielder Charles De Ketelaere. That last April, speaking to Eleven Sports microphones, he had already made it clear that he was ready for the big leap in a top team: “In the past I would have been afraid of seeing myself away from Bruges, the club I love – his words – but now I definitely feel ready “. De Ketelaere has often been compared to Kaka, so much so that the media and comrades have given him the nickname ‘Golden Boy’. He, however, tries to keep his feet on the ground: “I don’t want this nickname to get into my head, I want to remain humble. I don’t feel satisfied, despite having already played against the greatest champions. It’s not enough for me.”

Goals

De Ketelaere’s goals are ambitious: “How do I see myself from here to the next few years? Maybe I will have played a great competition with Belgium, winning it. And why not, maybe even the Champions League at club level. World Cup and Champions are mine. bigger dreams “. The Belgian Super Cup (Bruges against Gent, scheduled for Sunday) will be the first official match of the season, with the 2022-23 edition of the Jupiler Pro League starting the following weekend and exclusively in Italy on Eleven Sports. To celebrate the official start of the season, “No Days Off” was also launched, a new on demand format dedicated to the great talents of the Pro League (available on the OTT platform and on the YouTube channel). The first episode, recorded in April, concerned Charles De Ketelaere, a jewel of Club Brugge and the Belgian national team. Then it will be the turn of Radja Nainggolan, who returned to Antwerp a year ago after his experiences in Italy with Cagliari, Rome and Inter.
