“Losing a match is painful,” the defender began to inform Manu Jous. It’s even more so at the end. We demand to turn that frustration into work this week to win at home.“
The frustration stems largely from Anderlecht’s dominance without finding the back of the net. “We had chances but we also needed to avoid conceding. We play every match to win. When you’re Anderlecht, no matter the opponent, they have a heightened energy. It’s up to us to enforce the order of a substantial club against a smaller one. With all due respect to Malines, they aren’t the team I’m focused on. I’m focused on Anderlecht. We take it one match at a time, and we’ll tally things up at the end,” insisted the defender, currently on loan from Alavés in La Liga.
The central defender appears to be gaining momentum since arriving from Spain. “I’m getting into a rhythm little by little. This represents my preferred position,” said Moussa Diarra before being interrupted by chants from the Malines supporters. They sound like they’ve already won the championship… I’m doing what the coach asks of me. Am I already the boss in defense? No, I wouldn’t say that, Notice other leaders like Colin Coosemans. I’ve been welcomed well, that’s why I’m taking things step by step.“
The Malian international could be a key player down the stretch for the capital club. It remains to be seen if that will be in the Championship play-offs.
