Lokonga: "Competition on my position is big"

INTERVIEWS Sambi Lokonga has to be the replacement for Adrien Trebel. RSC Anderlecht is preparing the 19-year-old to become a key player at the first team. Behind the scenes, Sambi Lokonga always remained involved with Hein Vanhaezebrouck's plans: "He only had to become stronger."


Sambi Lokonga started the action that formed the basis of the second goal. "I wanted to play the ball as far as possible in the course of Dimata, and I succeeded in doing so, thanks to an oriented tackle, the competition is big at my position, but together with the trainers we have set specific goals", says the 19-year-old midfielder.

So these goals are becoming a fixed value in the first team, according to Vanhaezebrouck: "Lokonga never disappeared from the first team, he simply had to become stronger, and today he also showed that we were not mistaken."
