Vincent Kompany also returned to the good performance of his two young shoots in central defense. Starting with the exit of Marco Kana, in tears in the 55th minute: “Marco is fine. He had cramps and that’s easily explained because he didn’t play many matches. He was sick at the start of the week. I’m very proud of him, but also of Killian Sardella who took his place. We don’t have the means to buy all the players we want, but we believe in our young people who are the future of the club”.
The Mauves savored this victory with a particularly enthusiastic Anderlecht public: “Sometimes we forget a little the value of victory, when historically in Anderlecht, we are so used to winning. It’s been a while since we were deprived of this habit. We worked ten times harder, and we appreciate the victory even more despite it being a Pro League game against Antwerp. We experienced it as a European match. It is generally an atmosphere that the public experiences during European evenings”.
Sporting’s next game in the league is next Sunday in Ghent in another match at the top for the top 4.
