This Sunday in Complément Foot, David Houdret, Pascal Scimè and Joachim Mununga prefaced the Red Devils match against Finland. They debated in particular whether to play this match to the full or let it pass to finish second in this group B.
Manuel Jous first recalled that the Belgians were in the same situation 3 years ago during the World Cup in Russia. “After, Panama and Tunisia, we were qualified and there was still this match against England with a half of the table a priori easier if we lost. There were two clans within the team. core, led by Vincent Kompany, had suggested to Roberto Martinez not to play the game fully. But Martinez found himself up against all the other players on the team who absolutely wanted to win everything. And that is also the will. also from the coach. “
Our journalist who follows the Devils throughout this Euro also believes that we must play the game thoroughly. “If you want to be European champion, you have to prove that you are better than other European nations by trying to play every game to win them.”
In the studio, Pascal Scimè shared this opinion, but Joachim Mununga did not agree at all. “I can do without glory. I just want to triumph. It’s very difficult to project yourself. There are several possible combinations, but if by acting in a certain way, we increase our chances of victory on paper, I think we have to do it. We’re in a tournament where only the result counts. If we can increase our chances like that, let’s not be shy. And me, I’m one of those who say yes, let’s do the math, let’s go to the end even without glory. “
