Everything appears to be falling into place for Christian Kabasele at Watford this season.
Despite being unable to stop Manchester United from winning on Saturday afternoon, the Belgium international put in a solid performance against Romelu Lukaku at Vicarage Road, causing the striker problems a number of times throughout the game.
Starting and finishing all five of his team’s matches so far this season, the 27-year-old has been key to Watford’s great start to the season, and he hopes he can continue this form throughout the next 33 games.
One of his goals this campaign is to make it back into Roberto Martinez’s plans for the national team, and he knows the only way he’ll achieve that is by keeping up the good work, and nothing more.
“I can’t give more. Now it’s up to me to be patient and wait for the moment when the manager feels it’s the right time to call me back up. I just need to be good on the pitch and the final decision is his. It’s just a question of patience. I need to continue like this and not give up”.
With some tough games against Fulham, Tottenham and Arsenal coming up, Kabasele knows the next couple of weeks could be key for his international future, with another break looming in mid-October, when Belgium play Switzerland and Holland.
