Toby Alderweireld gets Golden Boot tattoo: 'Maybe in the top left corner'

Toby Alderweireld's win at the Golden Boot ceremony was not entirely unexpected, but that doesn't mean there was any less joy. However, the Antwerp defender kept his celebration modest. “I knew today was going to be a busy day, too.”

There's no big celebration for Toby Alderweireld after winning the Golden Boot. “I tried to be smart and got home on time. I knew today would also be a busy day.”

Alderweireld had already joked that he would sleep with his glass, but in the end his wife was lying next to him in bed. “Unfortunately I had to leave the shoes downstairs.”

One promise he wants to keep is a tattoo. If he wins the Golden Boot, he will also get a tattoo on his body. “I promised and I'm a man of my word. This tattoo will happen, I just have to think carefully about where and when.”

In the upper left corner, Ruth suggests Goss in De Ochtend, referring to his goal in the title match? “I think this is a very good idea!”

Also present at the Golden Boot ceremony: Domenico Tedesco. Would Alderweireld take the opportunity to speak to the national team coach about a potential return to the Red Devils?

“Unfortunately I haven't spoken to him, but I'm sure we'll be in touch soon,” Alderweireld gives Belgian fans hope.

“I left working with the Devils because I wanted to give priority to Antwerp and my children. But I am still proud that I was able to defend my country.”

“When they ask you, it's very hard to say no.” So he will soon say “yes” again?
