YOUTH Christian Da Silva Katalay is staying in Congo this week. For the first time he will play with the Congolese national team U19. Before his departure to Congo, the young defender spoke with Leopard Leader Foot and Anderlecht also came up.


De Silva has been playing for Anderlecht since 2015, when he came from Standard. "What I want to achieve at Anderlecht, that is very simple: initially I want to improve myself as a footballer and on the long term I hope to get in the first team", says Da Silva.

But Congo first. With the U20 the right back, whoin the past played for the Belgian U16, is looking for a ticket for next year's Africa Cup U20. Why the choice for Congo? "This is my country of origin, and when I was called up, I could not refuse, it means a lot to be able to play for" les Léopards "(the nickname of the Congolese national team, red.) It makes me proud to be able to carry this shirt. "

Asked about his idol as a football player, Da Silva gives an answer that is not obvious: José Bosingwa. "He is my uncle and is just like me a right back. As a child I often watched his games and I took an example of his movements, his running actions, ... He was a great footballer and I hope one day to reach his level."
