Before Tuesday night, Amir Murillo had never hit a shot on goal in an official game. The Anderlecht right-back did not tremble to send his team to the quarter-finals of the Belgian Cup. “I knew where I was going to shoot,” he says. “The keeper dived on the right side but the ball came in. “
The previous weeks have been difficult for Neerpede after a start to the season below expectations in terms of accounting. This also applies to the Panamanian international. Less sharp offensively and less authoritarian defensively than last season, Amir Murillo does not perform at the same level as in the previous exercise. His start to the season was marked by an exclusion against Louvain. Where Murillo gave in to Sébastien Dewaest’s deceit. An episode that he has not yet digested.
The Dewaest episode
On October 31 in the 70th, the Panamanian defender was sent off for giving a blow to Sebastien Dewaest. The latter surprised observers by explaining the course of events that day. “I touched his buttocks and he didn’t like it. I wanted to titillate him, with experience, and it worked, ”explained, almost hilariously, the former player from Charleroi. “I no longer have respect for him,” said Murillo. “I don’t know if I’m going to shake his hand in the second leg. His gesture was a lack of respect. I still have trouble talking about it. I didn’t have the right reaction, but what he did was wrong. This is the first time this has happened to me on a field. If someone does this in Panama, there is a general brawl. “
