Sunday at the end of the meeting, the Dutch defender of Anderlecht Wesley Hoedt was indignant at the behavior of some supporters in the stands. “It is not possible. It is not permissible to discriminate against people on the basis of their skin color. I hate this. There are words that have been addressed to our staff that are inadmissible. These are not things to be heard in a football stadium.“
Like Romelu Lukaku, very upbeat on social networks after this racist episode, Wesley Hoedt believes in sending a strong message. “As players there is not much you can do about it but it is time to take action. It has to come from the Pro League and the fans themselves. In England steps have been taken to tackle this Club Brugge fans should look at themselves in a mirror“Hoedt said after the meeting.
Sunday afternoon, Club Brugge reacted to these events. “Club Brugge, its supporters, staff, players, employees and management strongly condemn any form of racism. This minority is not representative of the values and standards of the club and has no place in Jan Breydel. “
Sporting Anderlecht and the Pro League also condemned this episode.
