Bertaccini is now the main man for the Canaries. After a brace against Westerlo on Saturday night the striker has scored an impressive five goals in just three games propelling the 24-year-old to top scorer in the Pro League for now The former Belgian youth international has spent most of his time in the lower reaches of Belgian football but last season was a real breakout year in the second tier for Bertaccini he is starting to show what he can do at the top level ✌️ | Adriano Bertaccini est impitoyable dans la surface ! 🐥🇧🇪 #GNKSTV – Tuesday Yet he could have even more goals to his name The striker’s excellent movement means he is able to find himself in positions to score more often than not and with some improved efficiency he could really start to challenge for the top scoring title this season His work rate will endear him to any fanbase and it is clear he is quickly becoming a fan favourite amongst the Sint Truiden faithful Bertaccini channels this energy into constantly harassing defenders and playing off the shoulder he celebrates every goal like he has never scored one before Mazzu has led a mini revival at a Sint Truiden side who looked dead and buried after a humiliating defeat to Antwerp in August They have now lost just once in nine games while upfront he has the likes of Bertaccini finding the net regularly It should not be long before the Canaries are starting to build a gap to the relegation places The Tesla Owners Club of Belgium and the Netherlands broke the world record for the largest simultaneous light and drone show in Sint-Truiden (Limburg) on Sunday evening. Some 1,150 enthusiasts of the car brand, gathered on the runway of Droneport in Sint-Truiden. Three cyber-trucks also participated in the world record attempt. The annual event brings Tesla owners from across Europe together for a light and drone show. All Tesla owners from across the continent of Europe are welcome, but those with a Model S or X could only participate if the Tesla was produced after 2022. This year, the organisers were aiming for a world record and that was an attempt that met with success. Some 1,150 Teslas had registered for the event at the Droneport airstrip in Sint-Truiden. ‘Each car participating in the light show was given a unique USB stick, so that the car knows perfectly when which lights should be on,’ co-organiser Sven van Passel of Electrify Europe explains. ‘In that way you get a synchronised light and drone show, a real spectacle in other words. The show was created by renowned light artist Simon Pollock.’ Tesla also arranged for 3 cyber-trucks to participate in the world record. The previous world record was set in South Korea. 952 Teslas gathered for a light show. The European record was held by Finland, where 902 Teslas took part.

At the club level, he played for De Anza Force, claiming the Northwest Division of the USSDA league and finishing in sixth in the National Premier League national tournament. Coaches noted his “great frame” and movement using his size to attract attention while opening up space for teammates putting up nine goals and three assists in 12 matches In his third and final fall at the collegiate level the attacker maintained his production with six goals and two assists in 12 appearances “I come from college football in the United States, the step to the Belgian competition is a big one,” said Zahiroleslam I hope to get playing opportunities in the competition as soon as possible.. I can continue to build towards my best form.” After not being able to train for a month due to work permit issues Zahiroleslam made his first-team debut in a 3-3 draw with KRC Genk netting the eventual game winner in a 3-0 victory over second-division side Francs Borains in the seventh round of the Belgian Cup he has become a regular in the starting lineup adding an assist brought about purely from hustle against KVC Westerlo; however the club continues to search for consistent production from the striker core De Kanaries (The Canaries) are currently at eighth in the table with 22 points from 16 matches and pushing to qualify for the next edition of the Europa Conference League you will not have to worry about any pressure on your shoulders I want to make a career in football and I am happy to have this opportunity.. so I still need to get a better idea of ​​the competition The football here is already faster and stronger.” At the international level, Zahiroleslam is eligible to compete for the United States but has yet to receive a call-up at any level of the USMNT system. He also reportedly has an Iran passport the dual-national attacker would be eligible to participate with the U-23 team in the upcoming Olympic Games using his imposing frame and athleticism to rise above defenders while also employing a surprising fluidity of movement that allows for him to set-up his dominant right foot Zahiroleslam cleared the first hurdle face by most American players moving abroad: reaching the first team and securing a spot in the rotation He has broken into the squad and even become a regular starter in the Belgian First Division A The next step is to establish himself as a reliable goal scorer after which there could be interest from multiple national team programs as a productive striker is a welcome addition to any depth chart after seven months I was able to go to an international dressage competition again Due to the prolonged corona lockdown and travel restrictions in Belgium and across the globe international competition went up in smoke this winter no Global Dressage Festival to warm your body "Hunger is the best sauce" they say in Belgium and only the day before the kick off of the CDI Sint-Truiden on 16 April 2021 I realised I was famished and off I went on a 50 minute drive to the south of Limburg province Stal Gravenhof is located in the apple orchards of Haspengauw the area where the biggest amount of apples and pears are grown It was a chilly morning, so I put my outfit on for cold weather: woollen socks, UGGs, a recycled cashmere sweater from the clothes collection of Belgian Grand Prix rider Alexa Fairchild I was ready to brave Siberia again for a day of shooting in early morning temperatures that felt like freezing I mimicked an Eskimo instead of a typical glammed up social media dressage influencer with tattooed eye brows and lips stuffer with so much filler they look like a hotdog bun I went back into the trenches in my horse show survival outfit Apple as treat for Morgensterns DakarStanding on your legs for eight hours non-stop after having sat on my bum in my office chair for the past half year means a big change for my body In 2020 I turned 40 and I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that I'm no longer "the youngest" journalist/photographer in the crowd I did my first international show as press at the age of 17 but you are much younger than I expected" for at least a decade which always made me chuckle as they expected a 60 year old lady to run Eurodressage Aside from a short rain shower during the lunch break before the junior riders' team test The CDI Sint-Truiden has a small field of competitors this year with around 65 pairs competing from pony to Under 25 level The morning started with a big pony delegation and so many newcomers I had never seen before Whisker beard on point!The FEI steward I stood next to for the majority of the day hit the nail on the head when she said: "it looks like the horses are still plugged into the electricity." The lack of show routine for the horses and ring rust on the riders were more than apparent either for fun or looking like a deer in headlights Interestingly there were no tears from riders coming out of the ring; well aware that the long break from CDI showing meant setting different goals for oneself I also noticed that fly caps are no longer checked I was told that the FEI decided to no longer check them this year as there is too much risk for pulling off the bridle Lots of fresh horses and ponies in Sint-TruidenThe day was finished round 17h30 so it was a short one I drove home with my seat heating full blast so I arrived home defrosted I was so surprised how fatiguing one day was after such a long time off I ate some hot tomato soup and sat down on the sofa for an hour facing only a short night sleep to be ready again for day two On Friday I went back to the show for the Young Riders and Under 25 class as my plan was to photograph every rider at least once Georges level and that's a big step-up from Junior M-level Their warm-up painted quite a different picture from the day before There was much more pulling left-right and spur jabbing on those fresh horses than the day before My general impression of the day was that mega quality horses were to be seen but also a huge difference in the quality of riding who are pursuing a professional career in riding but find it challenging or lack the skill and knowledge to bolster all that energy came from less spectacular pairs who showed a quiet hand better straightness in their horses and an overall more sympathetic picture Those with their fabulous horses and ridden with the hand-brake on ended up placing higher on the board I couldn't help but wonder: shouldn't judges reward good riding (= dressage) more than high scoring the quality of basic gaits on a not so elegantly presented horse.. The young team of runners and gate keepers are excited the show is onI totally understand that if you arrive at a show and your horse is fresher and more distracted than expected you're in a pickle and have to make the best of the cards that were dealt that day However it is the way you handle such situations that shows true greatness and skill in dressage riding and training My Friday closed with the Under 25 class which had just four pair and already eager for next week to arrive when the CDI Opglabbeek and CDI Hagen take place -- Text and Photos © Astrid Appels - NO REPRODUCTION ALLOWED !
