One minute after coming on, Klauss punishes Standard, his former team … and celebrates his goal

This is what is called succeeding in his rise to the game. Substituting at the kick-off with Saint-Trond and rising to the game in the 76th minute, Joao Klauss only took…60 seconds and a touch of the ball to find the opening and crucify (a little more) an already moribund Standard.

A goal obviously highly symbolic since the Brazilian forward had kindly been pushed out by the Rouches during the last transfer window. Perhaps a little offended, Klauss did not hesitate to celebrate his goal in an ostentatious way as if to prove to the leaders of Liège that they should probably have kept it.

Speaking of Standard, it’s the 6th time in the last 9 matches that the Liégeois haven’t scored a goal. So, Joao Klauss would obviously not have solved all the offensive problems of the Liégeois but we say to ourselves that he might have been able to relieve the poor a little. Renaud Emond, decidedly alone on the front of the Liège attack. But hey, we won’t repeat history. One thing is certain: Klauss seemed determined to prove that Standard made the wrong choice.
