“I will no more take a penalty”: The sad weekend of Mbokani continues!




On Sunday, Dieumerci Mbokani missed an important penalty for his team in the stoppage time, and as a result Anderlecht was beaten 2-1 by Brugges. Despite his apology, Mbokani was inconsolable. Hard for the Congolese striker who decided not to take a penalty any more until the end of the season.

“It’s over, I will no more shoot” said Dieumerci Mbokani to Sudpresse . “Next time, I’ll let Sacha (Kljestan) shoot. I’ve already missed three this season, it is more than enough. I do not miss at the training. I practiced in training this week and I did not miss any one. I admit, this is one of the most painful moments of my career. I will do everything to excel myself at the end of the playoffs. So far I have scored two goals in this competition and I am the first to admit that this is insufficient. It remains me four games to improve these figures, “ he added very sadly.

Anderlecht is not very polished on goals this season. The Mallows have scored just 5 out of 18.
