Beaten 1-4 last night by the Netherlands, the Devils disappointed. How to analyze this match? The RTL Sport consultant, Philippe Vande Walle, gives us his opinion.
Philippe, we did not expect such a disappointment…
No, clearly not. However, the scene was set last night, with superb weather, enthusiastic supporters… We hoped, for this derby against the Netherlands, to see a good match and a victory. Unfortunately, it ended in a fishtail…
There are three games left to play, in just over 10 days for the Devils, they must absolutely win against Poland on Wednesday?
To try to put the boat back in dock, we will have to try in every way to win this game, because Poland have already won a game against Wales, so we have to win to get back in this competition. Now, you also have to see that this Nations League is a preparation for the World Cup at the end of the year. We will have to lay low, whether it is the players or Roberto Martinez, to see what went wrong yesterday during the match.
Could this slap yesterday have consequences for the World Cup at the end of the year?
We hope not, but we will have to lay low, learn from mistakes. This group must remain united and question itself. There are 5 preparation matches left before the start of this World Cup and it is clear that time is running out. We will have to row with the oars we have on board at the moment.
