Anderlecht lui doit une fière chandelle pour Théo Leoni : "Il m'a convaincu de venir"

Jean Kindermans est bel et bien parti, mais son héritage sera encore longtemps perceptible à Anderlecht. Notamment au travers de l’explosion de Théo Leoni.

Anderlecht lui doit une fière chandelle pour Théo Leoni : “Il m’a convaincu de venir”

Théo Leoni aura dû attendre ses 23 ans pour percer dans l’équipe première d’Anderlecht, après plusieurs saisons passées à muscler son jeu avec les RSCA Futures.

Comme souvent, Jean Kindermans avait vu juste. Leoni révèle dans De Zondag que c’est l’ancien homme fort du centre de formation anderlechtois qui l’a convaincu de venir à Neerpede lorsqu’il n’avait que douze ans.

Le milieu de terrain l’a écouté, quittant ainsi Charleroi : “Il m’a toujours dit que je ne jouerais pas en équipe première à 16 ans comme Youri Tielemans, parce que j’étais physiquement en retard, mais que je devais faire en sorte d’être prêt quand j’aurais ma chance” se souvient-il.

Théo Leoni, la patience enfin récompensée

Leoni sera à jamais reconnaissant à Kindermans mais n’oublie pas de remercier Brian Riemer pour autant : “Ses mérites dans notre situation actuelle, et dans ma situation personnelle, sont énormes. Il vit vraiment pour ça” explique-t-il.

Au point que Théo Leoni soit l’un des dossiers phares de l’été pour la direction anderlechtoise, entre départ par la grande porte ou nouvelle prolongation de son contrat.
