Belgian football players and tactical shifts discussed

Daan Heymans has returned to form at KRC Genk following a period of uncertainty. Despite rumors of a potential transfer to KAA Gent, Heymans confirmed that while informal inquiries were made during his time on the bench, Genk made it clear a transfer was not an option. Heymans credited Rik De Mil for helping him improve his professional attitude and positivity.

Meanwhile, KAA Gent is facing defensive personnel challenges following a 2-0 loss to Braga. Analyst Wim De Coninck has suggested tactical adjustments for coach Rik De Mil to address injuries to El Bachir Ngom and Siebe Van der Heyden. Proposed changes include moving Matties Volckaert to a central defensive role and utilizing Matisse Samoise on the right flank to maintain team balance.
