not good enough yet for 1BL but Hertha is considering a Winter loan to 2BL, although that means they have to extend his contract that expires in 2019. if he does get loaned out, at least he'll finally gets a chance to make his pro debut.
Belgium on loan: Sidney #Friede has moved on loan to @ExcelMouscron until the end of the season. Good luck in Belgium, Sidney! 🇧🇪#hahohe pic.twitter.com/5tvL5s0pJf— Hertha BSC (EN) (@HerthaBSC_EN) January 17, 2019
the Belgium club doesn't have a buying option. well at least he'll make his pro debut and get playing time before he turns 21 in April. looks like he went to that bottom of the table Belgium club only because both the sporting director and the coach of Excel are Germans. with all the rumors of |Friede on loan to 2BL seems to me that he couldn't get any guarantee playing time in any 2BL clubs which is why they went elsewhere.
starts his Belgium adventure on the bench. Voici le composition pour la rencontre de ce soir à 20h00 face au @kvoostende ! 🔴⚪️Vos pronos pour ce match? 🤔Tous ensemble pour la victoire! Allez l'Excel! 💪🏼#RoyalExcelMouscron #MOUKVO pic.twitter.com/sGkZcn3t6f— Royal Excel Mouscron (@ExcelMouscron) January 20, 2019 well if not today seems likely will make his pro debut soon enough.
and finally makes his pro debut in a important 2-1 win. #MOUKVO (2-1, 87') Deuxième changement pour l'Excel ! ➡️ 8 - #Friede ⬅️ 10 - @SelimAmallah21 pic.twitter.com/C0K0DUR2DP— Royal Excel Mouscron (@ExcelMouscron) January 20, 2019 played something like 6-7 min if you include injury time.
played full game in a 2-1 win over 1st place Genk. That's 2 wins in 2 games for Royal Excel. Went from close to relegation spot to jump to #12 on the table.
Not my reaction (didn't watch) Was very inconspicuous in the first half, but has increased significantly in the second half. Occasionally flashed his technical skills and led some good defensive battles. As I've had the impression here several times in Berlin, he felt pretty lazy (mostly on the go, a few sprints) and has never actually offered his players active. In itself solid performance, but at his mileage and intensity he must definitely work on his position, otherwise he will be nothing in the Bundesliga. still the same issues since Summer,
If Frantzdy Pierrot can have his own thread in the main yanks abroad section, Sidney should be promoted!
...laziness and complacency are kind of unamerican, aren't they? maybe the mods are thinking of demoting him to a subthread of some sort. they may not want him on any ya thread.
scores to make it 2-0 in his 2nd start. #MOUCHA (2-0, 60') BUUUUUUT POUR L'EXCEL ! Quelle action collective conclue par @ewekasidney ! Quel football produit par nos Hurlus, le break est fait 😍🔴⚪️ pic.twitter.com/7ARHniLIng— Royal Excel Mouscron (@ExcelMouscron) February 1, 2019
Feeling pretty optimistic with three wins from three games into his loan move. Seems he can help the team push for, realistically, a high spot in the Europa playoffs. Anyone watched either of these two games? Wonder if he'll play himself into a permanent move to Belgium or maybe a loan to a Bundesliga or 2.Liga team for next season.
Starts: Voici la composition pour la rencontre de ce soir à 20h00 face au KAA Gent! 👊🏼🔴⚪️Amis supporters, mettez le feu au Ghelamco Arena ! 🔥#GNTMOU#RoyalExcelMouscron pic.twitter.com/mkDZ8nbtrN— Royal Excel Mouscron (@ExcelMouscron) February 10, 2019 @bungadiri can we update the thread title to include "on loan to Royal Excel Mouscron"? Thanks.
and Friede scores his 2nd goal in 4 games to make it 2-0 vs Gent. #GNTMOU (0-2, 51') L'Excel fait le breaaaaaaak !!! Sur un centre de #Gulan, #Friede est là pour pousser le ballon au fond des filets !COME ON EXCEL 🔴⚪️ pic.twitter.com/ukE7KuD9IY— Royal Excel Mouscron (@ExcelMouscron) February 10, 2019 that's 2 goals in 3 starts for him.
and his goal ended up being the winner as 10 men Excel won 2-1. that's 4 wins in 4 games since he was loaned out. Performance wise, still see mixed reactions though. Its even more reason why he needs the match practice.
looks like he's a triple national as he seems also eligible for Nigeria. https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=31021
I've watched him numerous times with Germany and wasn't impressed. He also got criticized by both Hertha 1st team coach Dardai and II coach Covic. Now in Belgium reactions are still mixed. There is a reason as to why he wasn't good enough for 1BL chances and needed to develop his game on loan. He's not there yet.
