INTERVIEWS Can we consider Mustapha Bundu a miscast? It might be a bit exaggerated, but in an interview with Het Laatste Nieuws, sports manager Peter Verbeke admitted that his profile no longer matches what Vincent Kompany needs.


"If I had to get a winger today, I might end up with a different profile than the one of Bundu," said Verbeke. "That has nothing to do with his qualities, but with his profile which may not quite fit into the football that Kompany wants to play."

Verbeke points out that Anderlecht play in a 4-4-2, in which the wingers put very intense pressure on the opponents' wing backs. "Vincent expects Mukairu and Amuzu to overpower the fullbacks. Bundu is a different type. He is more someone who, thanks to his physical capabilities, is strong on the counter attack," said Verbeke.

Was it a mistake to get Bundu in the summer? "Vincent was not yet the Vincent he is today. He now sees much better who fits in his football and who doesn't."
