“There is a lot of negativity around him”: Rik De Mil supports Mehdi Bayat after SC Charleroi’s victory against Westerlo (video)

LSporting de Charleroi stopped the bleeding this Saturday by scoring an important victory against Westerlo (1-0). The meeting was held in a tense atmosphere, the supporters having decided to show their frustration by protesting against the management and more precisely, against Mehdi Bayat. An anger misunderstood by coach Rik De Mil, who wanted to provide his support to the managing director of the Zebras.

“I find that there is a lot of negativity around Mehdi Bayat,” the Carolos coach told DAZN. “He is someone who has been there for twenty years and this club is healthy, we use the money we have, and with the means we have, we build the club. He was incredible in the way he managed the players and the staff during the weeks we lost. He’s doing a great job here. And I wanted to say it because I’m proud to work here. »

Alongside these comments about Bayat, De Mil indicated that the team still needs reinforcements to be better prepared for the future. And in particular a No. 9. “We talked about the transfer window and we need more qualities, that’s clear,” he explains. “We will look in January to see if we can add an element to the group with the means we have.”
