Leekens sees a breakthrough with Jashari: “Give him time, he is fantastic and will explode”

Georges Leekens, former national coach of Belgium, has praised Ardon Jashari. The midfielder had a mixed first season after his move to AC Milan, but according to Leekens there is a clear upward trend and a breakthrough is imminent.

“Jashari is a very intelligent player. He was also slowed down by some physical problems, but he did better in the second half of the season,” said Leekens. "In your first year in another league and at a big club you need time to adapt. I think he will explode, yes."


Leekens sees Milan as the ideal environment for steady development: "He can grow step by step and show that he can handle the highest level. I think he is a fantastic player who the fans will appreciate. Do not doubt his quality."

The former national coach also commented on Kevin De Bruyne. According to Leekens, De Bruyne remains a player of great importance, despite physical problems. In addition, he emphasized that football in Italy is different and that both players and coaches have to adapt to each other's ideas and to the competition.

With that nuance, Leekens asks for patience: give talent like Jashari time to get used to - then the reward will follow on the field.
