Horemans has been open about his own role within the team, stating that he is not a verbal leader. He believes that leadership is not just about age, but also about a person's character. "Mensen kijken vaak alleen naar de leeftijd en zeggen dan: Jij moet het doen," he said. "Maar ik ben verbaal geen leider. Leiderschap op die manier hoort bij je karakter of niet."
The Belgian defender has also spoken about the team's recent military-style training session, which took place during the international break. The session involved carrying a stretcher with a dummy on it over a certain course. "Nou, we moesten met een brancard met een pop erop over een bepaald parcours gaan," Horemans explained. "Twee teams tegen elkaar. Het gaat over coaching, wie komt er in de problemen, dan moet je overnemen. Samenwerken."
Horemans believes that the training session was an eye-opener for some players, and that it has had a positive impact on the team's performance. "Het was ook wel een eyeopener voor sommigen," he said. "Wij mogen iedere dag lekker voetballen, terwijl er echt veel zwaardere dingen zijn."
