Bakkali Shines in Anderlecht’s 6-1 Rout, Scores First Goal in Two Years

The Moroccan winger did not hold back his pleasure by scoring his goal in the 90th minute. According to sudinfo.be, this goal came nearly two years after a trip to Zulte Waregem. Wearing a broad smile after this fine achievement, the Belgian-Moroccan player indicated that this goal was worth it to ensure confidence. "On this action, I was not afraid to do too many feints because I was well on my feet. I hope that other goals will follow quickly, but above all that we will manage to qualify for the Playoffs 1. It’s sure that our situation is not ideal." Not content with having crushed their opponent of the day, the Moroccan framework prophesies a crushing victory, in the next three matches, with the same pressure as usual.

Full of enthusiasm and determined to work harder in training, Bakkali intends to regain his best level: "I’m not there yet, but I’m getting closer," he concedes. "Let’s say I’m at 80% of my potential. I lack rhythm, explosiveness. A bit of everything, really. But I feel I’m progressing little by little, that all my efforts are not in vain."
