"What didn't work out with ADO hopefully does at Beerschot: getting to the top division", Hervé Matthys says. "I like the club's ambition and am looking forward to this new challenge. I already know a couple of players. Thibaud Verlinden is one of them, and I have played against Dante Rigo. So I won't be a complete stranger when I enter the dressing room for the first time."
"I don't think I will need time to adapt. My girlfriend and I like where we are living now, so we stay put. Maybe later we may consider moving to Antwerpen. No pressure though."
