Didier Lamkel Zé, the Cameroonian midfielder who spent two seasons with Belgium’s Royal Antwerp, reflected on one of the most memorable moments of his time at the club. During a recent interview, he recalled a controversial episode from his second season that left a lasting impression on the Antwerpen supporters.
« Je portais le maillot d’Anderlecht pour choquer Antwerp »
Lamkel Zé explained that he deliberately donned the jersey of fellow Belgian giants RSC Anderlecht as a provocative statement. The move was intended to shock the fans of his then‑club, a gesture that sparked immediate reactions across the stadium.
He noted that the incident occurred during a high‑profile match in his second season at Royal Antwerp, a period when the club was already navigating a challenging campaign. The act of wearing a rival’s shirt was seen by many as a bold, if risky, expression of dissent.
Royal Antwerp and Anderlecht have long been fierce rivals in Belgian football, with their clashes often drawing intense attention from supporters and media alike. Lamkel Zé’s choice to wear Anderlecht’s kit added an unexpected twist to an already heated rivalry.
