Kara: "I wanted to leave myself"

INTERVIEWS

A big wage, chronic knee problems and still a Mogi Bayat player. Enough reasons why RSC Anderlecht wanted to get rid of Kara Mbodji. Although the Senegalese now contradicts: "I wanted to leave myself". In Qatar he is again the basic player. - Kara is at the base of every match at Al-Sailiya, together with Mbark Boussafa he is one of the strongholds. He said he had had it with Belgium and wanted to continue his career somewhere else.

"I read everywhere that Anderlecht wanted to get rid of me, but that is certainly not the case, I wanted to leave myself. I knew that a lot was going to change at the club and I spoke with Vincent Kompany to tell him that I wanted to leave."

The Senegalese is still following purple and white and is also in Brussels every free moment: "My wife is pregnant with our first child and is planning to give birth in Brussels. We also bought an apartment there. When I stop playing football it is the intention to live there too. "

"The 9 out of 30 is very painful, but it is not a real surprise. You will have been down with the club for a few years. But they will come back. Within two years the youth will make the club successful again. But perhaps they would now better admit that this is a transition year. "
