The Red Devils need to get a result against Croatia. Otherwise, they will fly back on Friday.
Glen De Boeck experienced a more or less identical situation in 2002. After two draws against South Korea and Tunisia, they had to win against Russia. And the Devils won 3-2.
“We had raised our level of play. We showed courage and audacity. The current internationals must do the same now,” De Boeck told Gazet van Antwerpen. “The pace has to be higher, they have to dare to play attacking football. The solutions lie higher up the pitch, but that’s not the case, despite the many qualities. It’s so passive. You have to take the control of the game, not submit as was the case against Canada and Morocco.”
