“This elimination still hurts”

This time, it is in preparation for the triptych against Estonia, the Czech Republic and Belarus, as part of the qualifications for the next World Cup. “This elimination still hurts me,” Jan Vertonghen admitted Monday in Tubize. “We failed to achieve our goals at this Euro. We can’t change much about that now. The only thing we can do is win games.”

Vertonghen also looked for the causes of this elimination, the third in the quarterfinals of a major tournament after those which occurred in 2014 and 2016. The only exception was the 2018 World Cup, where Belgium managed to cross the quarterfinals and get a third final place. “You are always looking for the causes. Already, we have faced the best team in the tournament, the one that won the competition. They were a great team, both offensively and defensively. If we want to win prizes, of course we have to To be able to beat them. Against Italy, we could not realize our chances and we made mistakes on the goals, “noted the left-back.
