Former manager Aad de Mos has launched a scathing critique of RSC Anderlecht, arguing that the club lacks a clear international football vision.
Voetbal24.be reported that the Dutch analyst believes the Brussels side should look to their domestic rivals for direction.
According to Het Nieuwsblad, De Mos analyzed the ongoing issues at his former club during a recent interview. He specifically targeted the presentation of Antoine Sibierski at Anderlecht, stating that the sporting leadership relies too heavily on tired rhetoric.
“How that man from France comes in… I could tell you beforehand what he was going to say,” De Mos said. “‘Sweat for the jersey, fight for the shirt…’ That is good for the supporters, or for the non-knowers.”
De Mos urged Anderlecht to make concrete strides on the pitch and pointed directly to Club Brugge as a model to follow. The Dutch analyst watched Blauw-Zwart perform against PSV in the UEFA Champions League and expressed astonishment at their level.
“That they should take a look at Club Brugge. They are genuinely strong in substance. I was at PSV-Club and was amazed at how good they were,” De Mos stated.
The analyst also rejected common Dutch perceptions labeling Club Brugge as a defensive counter-attacking unit. “In the Netherlands they still underestimate it and speak of a ‘counter team’. Club Brugge is totally not that,” De Mos noted.
De Mos concluded with high praise for the squad managed by Ivan Leko. “That is a terribly well-playing team that is also very strong physically,” he said.
