In recent years, many (former) Red Devils have returned to Belgian competition. Players like Simon Mignolet, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen are making their mark on the Jupiler Pro League, although that also upsets some people.
Alderweireld, Mignolet and Vertonghen quickly emerged as strong men for their respective teams. According to Jean-Marie Dedecker, a clear sign that all is not well in Belgian football. “The fact that Alderweireld and Vertonghen, who are in their 30s, can excel doesn’t say much about our Smurfing competition,” he says.

José De Cauwer, former Belgian national cycling coach, sees the return of the veterans as positive. “Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen are two godsends for Belgian football,” he said.
“This duo brings a certain seriousness without too many pranks. They don’t blow the air too high and aren’t photographed wearing a skirt,” said De Cauwer, referring to Amadou Onana on his return to the national team a few weeks ago.
Anderlecht, Club Brugge and Antwerp, the teams from Vertonghen, Mignolet and Alderweireld, are already doing particularly well. All three are in the top six of the Belgian competition. I wonder if they can continue this good trend after the winter break.
