A while ago, Voetbalbelgie.be visitors the chance to fire off some questions to the address of Red Devil Kevin Mirallas. The story of our round of questions, including the questioners there.
Was not it difficult for 15-year-old rogue everything and everyone behind you and pulling from Standard to Lille (Niels Timmermans)? Would you make the same choice again: at an early age to France, because it was quite an adjustment. Are you caught in a foster home (Martijn de Jong)?
"It was indeed a very difficult decision to leave my friends, but my parents moved back to Lille and that made ​​the adjustment easier. Should I do it again, I would make the same choice. The youth of Lille is ideal for young people to lead. You have everything: beautiful fields, gym, athletics track, classrooms, bedrooms, restaurant.
Lille was apparently satisfied with me, because I notice that since my arrival increasingly younger Belgians make the move to Lille, as Birger Longueville, Salvatore Criminale and of course Eden Hazard. Since my co-parents lived, I stayed with them live. The other Belgians also stay at the youth center. Thus they can of course fully focus on their careers. The disadvantage is, of course, that they are completely separated from the outside world and have been isolated life. "
"Saint-Etienne is the ideal springboard"
Where is your career success (Peter Van Roy and Jonathan Dillen)? "What is your ultimate dream (Jens Bullen)?
"My career will I call if I ever passed at a European club to play. Last year there was interest from some European Hat-tricks, but I think that Saint-Etienne for me the ideal springboard for a European club. For me it is now far too important to play at a club level, and therefore I chose Saint-Etienne.
At this time the results are somewhat disappointing in the league, but I am convinced we can do better. This way, we already proved in the UEFA Cup, including one against Club Brugge, where we were the better team. My career will be 200 percent successful if I can play at Real Madrid. "
They looked down on you in the beginning? French still have something like: les petits belges (Anneleen Verheyen).
"The French certainly not looked down on me. Of course, sometimes they laugh with the Belgians, but it is certainly not meant méchant. And respect when performance grows naturally follow. The fact that after I gravitated more and more Belgians to Lille proves that respect for the Belgians grows. Belgian football has had a dip, but I am convinced that with the current crop and upcoming talents like Eden Hazard has great moments of entertainment. "
Suppose you had not kicked up a professional footballer. What jobs do you see really are not (Olivier Meert)?
"Anyway, it was always a dream of mine for a job to exercise linked to sport. I would like to become a Physical Education teacher. A job that I really would not want to do is that of truck driver. I would really not want to much with the car to drive, and to spend many hours alone on the roads. "
You are coming back to Standard ever huh? Une fois Rouche, toujours Rouche (Sven D.)?
"I do not know if there will ever play, and it's not really a dream, but when I'm in Belgium I try as much as possible to attend a match. Anyway Standard remains my favorite club in Belgium. If I ever come back to Belgium, I do not play for another club. "
"Always keep believing in yourself"
How do you prepare for a match? What do you do that 24 hours before kickoff? And you repeat certain things, you're superstitious (Kevin Degreef)?
"I do everything the same way, and lots of rest. My girlfriend who lives with me know that they do not need to bother too much for a game. Yes, I'm definitely superstitious."
What tips do you have for young players (Christophe Barrez)?
"Always work hard and keep believing in yourself. You must be willing to listen to the coaches, and willing to learn. Of course you must make many sacrifices, but if you succeed, then you have a beautiful and comfortable life, and the sacrifices that are more than worth it. "
Stay after your career as a professional soccer player kicks a ball à la Danny Boffin, Cisse Severeyns, Bruno Versavel, etc. (Maxime Delacour)?
"That's hard to say at this time. It depends on many factors: I'm still fit, I still sense .... Although I prefer to highlight would quit rather than to muddle at lower levels."
