“I Turned It Off After Ten minutes”: Anthony Moris Frightened by Belgian pro League Quality
Luxembourgish goalkeeper Anthony Moris is thriving in Saudi Arabia with Al-Khaleej, a move he describes as a positive step for both his family and career. While enjoying improved family life and a long-term contract extending to June 2028 – a duration Union Saint-Gilloise were unwilling to match – Moris has been surprisingly critical of the Belgian pro League’s current standard.
Speaking to La Capitale, Moris asserted the Saudi Pro League’s top teams are now competitive with Belgium’s best. “The difference is smaller than you think. players like Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, N’Golo Kanté, Fabinho, Sadio Mané and João Félix inevitably raise the level,” he explained.
However, it was a recent viewing of a Belgian league match that prompted a particularly stark assessment.Moris confessed to watching the Anderlecht versus Standard Liège fixture, but quickly losing interest. “I turned it off after ten minutes because the level was so absurd.Scary even,” he stated. He admitted the time difference makes regular viewing arduous, but the brief glimpse he caught was enough to solidify his opinion.
Moris intends to conclude his playing career in Saudi Arabia, viewing it as a “fantastic” opportunity.
