It's a Saturday morning at the RSCA Academy just outside Brussels.
Anderlecht's Under-16s are losing their game, but Youri Tielemans is playing on the adjacent pitch for the Under-15s, and is called over at half-time.
"The opposition's parents would say 'oh f***, it's Youri Tielemans' when he came over," said Gunter Van Handenhoven, recalling some of his fondest days coaching in Anderlecht's academy.
