“I received a message from an acquaintance and I read it to my colleague. That’s it. I don’t like being perceived in that way at all,” said De Bilde in a short response. Aster Nzeyimana, who commented on Eleven together with De Bilde, also jumped into the breach. “Both I and the people at Eleven can confirm that Gilles read a message. I understand the sensitivities of Club supporters given Gilles’ Anderlecht past. But this one is really not right.” Case closed.
