Former midfielder and captain of Dynamo Kyiv Serhiy Sydorchuk, who now plays for Belgian side Westerlo, dedicated an Instagram post to the Belgian league.
"Before the start of the new season, I want to share my impressions of the Belgian championship.
It was the first time I played in a foreign championship. It was an interesting experience. The Belgian championship is more equal. There are a few teams that are contending for the championship, there is no big gap between the rest. This is somewhat similar to the Ukrainian championship.
Belgium has an interesting regulation. After the main stage, the teams are divided into three groups. This gives teams in the middle of the championship a chance to compete for a place in the European Cups.
There is no excitement when everyone has completed their tasks. For the most part, there is intrigue for the championship. In every Belgian team you can find a bright player. I have already told you here that the atmosphere here is favorable for the development of talents from childhood, so it is not surprising.
Compared to the Ukrainian championship, the intensity in Belgium is higher. But throughout the championship, there is a great deal of interest from the fans. From the first games to the final, regardless of the outcome. Together with the team, I am preparing for the first match of the season," Serhiy wrote.
