Vanhaezebrouck: "Henry simply wasn't ready"

INTERVIEWS According to Henry Onyekuru, RSC Anderlecht did not let him play anymore in order to keep him in Brussels for another year. "Not true", responds coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck, "Henry was simply not ready to play and was still too frightened."


"I don't really have a lot of comment on that, but I certainly did not make any promises to Onyekuru," Vanhaezebrouck says about the Nigerian's allegations. "I think that boy was mainly misled by his entourage. I did not speak to him either, so I did not make any promises, simply because he was not ready.Otherwise I would certainly have given him chances, the fact is that Henry was frightened, I've seen that several times. I spent hours in my car to look at him with the Reserves on Standard and it was not good at all then. I do not want to say anything more about that. "
