Thierry Henry led our national team this Sunday evening due to the suspension of Roberto Martinez. The Belgian players lost 1-0, but could have hoped for better if they had managed to capitalize on their chances. Henry nevertheless refuses to speak of “lack of efficiency”. “I think it’s a bit hard, even if on arrival, if you don’t score, we can talk about that. We must try to take the whole into account. You have to stay positive. We could have led to the score. We couldn’t go to the Nations League, we will have to prepare well for the World Cup.“
Regarding the meeting of young Zeno Debast, at fault on the goal scored by Van Dijk, the one-night coach was very protective of his defender. “He was enterprising, he was able to defend well and behave well. We all started. I think it was pretty good. I’ve seen Van Dijk score goals like this before in the Premier League against experienced defenders.”
Eden Hazard played twice an hour of play during this rally. The captain of the Devils hardly plays in his club Madrid anymore and this is a concern for the selection. “You don’t have to do anything and everything with Eden“, explains the 1998 world champion. “It’s been a while since he played. We need him to be fresh, to have minutes in his legs, so we gave him minutes“, adds Henry who assures”don’t aim at anyoneto Real Madrid in his statements.
