Club Brugge lost two expensive European points to Besiktas last Thursday. Kasper Nielsen then fired mainly, with the midfielder responsible for the equalizer with a dramatic pass. However, it seems that he has no intention of giving up on Blau Zwart.
Despite the tremendous control in the second half, things went wrong against Besiktas in the final minutes. Substitute Nielsen agonizingly surrendered the ball in midfield, after which Cenk Tosun gave the visitors an undeserved point.
It was once again a disappointing performance for the Dane. A few days ago, he also came on as a particularly poor substitute against Sporting Charleroi, again resulting in him losing the ball several times. This is while the competition in Brugge’s midfield is already fierce.

This is partly due to his idealistic mentality. Furthermore, Nielsen is said to be one of the leaders in the dressing room, and it is no coincidence that he is now the third captain.
His agent, Zuhair Al-Saqqal, also confirms that the midfielder wants to change his situation. “Despite the difficult start, the club still sees him as an important link. He wants to rectify this quickly. He will be a match-winner in the near future,” Kasper said immediately after the match. “It looks promising.” Now let’s wait and see if he can put those good intentions into action on the pitch…
