But this match, if it will complete Boussutois' first season in D1B, it will also be the last in the professional career of Kevin Vandendriessche, one of the team's executives this season and who left his mark on the Belgian D1. Which promises emotion for Vedette this Friday evening.
”We'll see if the coach decides to do me or not, smiles the middle 34 year old. We will prepare for this match to try to win it and finish in style at home, hoping that there will be a crowd. I am absolutely not looking forward to this last match even if there will certainly be emotions that emerge. Not today. For the moment I have no heartache but we will see what happens on the big day. My wife and my children will be in the stands, that will already be a little more emotional. In any case, for the moment, I'm not thinking about it too much; but when the referee blows the final whistle, I don't know what will happen.”
The Frenchman, who has more than 250 matches to his credit in the Jupiler Pro League spread between Mouscron, Ostend and Kortrijk, is changing his life plans but does not intend to stop football immediately. ” For some time, my wife and I had been planning to move to the South of France, so as to be closer to my parents near Avignon. Recently, we decided to rush this project, explains the native of Lesquin, near Lille. I could have aimed for one of the professional clubs in this region but there is not much to eat in the area. Except Nîmes but that would again be more than an hour's drive every day. I've done this practically my whole career, I'm a little tired of it. I will try to find an amateur club that would have an interesting project. I don't worry. If I have to continue, I will continue, if not I will stop. What is certain is that I am stopping my professional career.”
Another certainty: his footballing and human qualities will be missed in the Belgian championship.
