BEST XI: JUPILER PRO LEAGUE 22/23

GOALKEEPER

Hervé Koffi has an athletic and muscular build that allows him to prevail in the air and in clashes with rival forwards (1.87 meters tall and weighing 80 kilos). In addition, has a good speed and great elasticity to reach the most difficult balls.

His footwork is also remarkable. He knows how to handle the ball with both legs and has a good shot, both short and long. He is capable of starting the ball out from behind with judgment and precision, and also of clearing with power when the situation requires it. He doesn't usually risk unnecessarily and has a good vision of the game.

Regarding his placement, he is usually well positioned in the goal and anticipates the plays well. He has a good sense of anticipation and knows when to cut through crosses or deep balls. He also has a good command of the defense and constantly communicates with his teammates.

DEFENDERS

Daniel Mu?oz is experiencing one of the best moments of his career. His usual position has been that of right-back, in addition to his defensive solvency, Mu?oz has also contributed his goalscoring quota to the team. His air power is one of his most dangerous weapons, both in defense and attack.

Mu?oz has also stood out for his winning character and his leadership on and off the field. He is one of the Genk captains and one of the benchmarks for his teammates. His commitment, delivery and professionalism are values that define him as a player and as a person.

Noe Dussenne has been characterized by his solvency, physical strength and ability to anticipate. Dussenne is a solid and experienced central defender who brings security and forcefulness to Standard.

However, he also has some aspects to improve. His speed is not his best quality, which makes him suffer against fast and skilful forwards. His discipline is not optimal either, in addition, his ball output is not very precise.

Christian Burgess stands out for his physical strength, his anticipation, aerial game and ball output. He is a defender who does not get complicated and who knows how to prevail over rival forwards with his size and position. In addition, he has a good vision of the game and is capable of starting plays from behind with precise and deep passes. His height (1.96 m) allows him to be a dangerous weapon in strategy plays, both in defense and attack.

He is a football player who has many qualities to be a level central defender. His experience in different leagues has given him a maturity and solvency that make him stand out at Gilloise.

Maxim De Cuyper stands out for his speed, his ability to join the attack and his good striking of the ball. He is a player who takes advantage of his physical power to win individual duels and overwhelm the band. He also has a good vision of the game and knows how to combine with his teammates. His weak point is defense, where sometimes he is somewhat hesitant and imprecise in markings and coverage.

De Cuyper has a lot of room for improvement and could become a reference left-back in the future.

MIDFIELDERS

Joseph Paintsil is a fast, skilled player with good vision of the game. His natural position is as a left winger, but he can also play on the right or as a second striker. His main virtue is his dribbling, as he is capable of overwhelming defenders with his speed and his change of pace. He also has a good shot with both legs and a good sense of space and time to get into the box and define plays.

His weak point is the aerial game, since he is only 1.70 meters tall and does not have much physical power. In addition, sometimes he is individualistic and does not take advantage of the passing options that the team offers him.

Teddy Teuma is characterized by his vision of the game, his ability to distribute the ball and his defensive work.

His main virtue is his intelligence to read the game and anticipate the opponent's actions. Teuma has good positioning, both in attack and defense, and knows when to press, when to withdraw and when to join the box. In addition, he has great technical quality that allows him to easily control the ball and execute precise passes at different distances. He is in charge of organizing the Gilloise game and connecting with the wingers and the striker.

Hans Vanaken is one of the best players in Jupiler Pro League. His position is that of an attacking midfielder, but he can also play as a second striker or winger. His main virtue is his vision of the game, which allows him to assist his teammates with precise and creative passes. He also stands out for his goalscoring ability, his individual technique and his leadership on the pitch.

He has already been international with the Belgium national team and his performance has not gone unnoticed by many European clubs. It is a matter of time before he jumps to a higher level league, where he will have to show all the level he has.

Mike Trésor is a very skilled, fast and creative player who can unbalance any defense with his dribbling, his vision of the game and ability to associate with his teammates. His natural position is on the far left, from where he usually cuts towards the center to look for the shot with his right foot, but he can also play as a midfielder or even as a second striker, taking advantage of his mobility and his eye for goals. His main virtue is versatility, since he adapts to different systems and roles according to the needs of the team.

His main flaw is his irregularity, as he sometimes disappears from matches or makes mistakes due to overconfidence.

FORWARDS

Vincent Janssen is a complete and versatile striker who has adapted well to Belgian football and has been a key player for Royal Antwerp. He is a 1.82-meter-tall center forward who stands out for his mobility, his ability to associate with teammates and eye for goals.

Among his virtues, we can highlight his good shot with both legs and air game. He is also an intelligent player, who knows how to read game situations and choose the best option. His defensive work is another aspect to highlight, as he presses hard and helps to recover balls.

However, he also has some aspects to improve. His main defect is irregularity, which makes him alternate brilliant matches with others in which he goes unnoticed. His speed is not his forte either, which makes it difficult for him to get past defenses. Finally, his temper sometimes plays tricks on him, and he has received several yellow cards for protesting or committing unnecessary fouls.

Hugo Cuypers has found his best version at Genk and has become one of the team's top scorers. His natural position is center forward, but he can also play on the wings or behind the striker. He is a fast, powerful player with a good shot, both with his head and his feet. His mobility and ability to get unmarked make him a constant danger to opposing defences.

However, he also has some aspects to improve. His main weakness is irregularity, since he alternates brilliant matches with others in which he goes unnoticed. In addition, sometimes he is individualistic and does not collaborate enough with his colleagues. His temper has also played tricks on him.
