Roberto Martinez said goodbye to the Red Devils after the World Cup in Qatar. He is now national coach of Portugal, but the Dutchman Willem van Hanegem, among others, is not pleased with Martinez.
Willem van Hanegem does not have many good words for Roberto Martinez. The Dutchman makes a comparison with, among other things, the 2-2 at the World Cup of the Netherlands against Argentina.
The Netherlands then collapsed in extra time and mainly waited for the penalties. The Netherlands then lost 3-4. “It was the same as Belgium in recent years. You should have reached at least one final with that team, right?”, says Van Hanegem at HLN.
Best material Belgium has ever had
“But you also had such a shit as national coach with Martínez. At Portugal he was now clapping again with every goal against a fucking country. That is a pity. He had the best material Belgium has ever had,” says Van Hanegem yet.
Portugal won its first European Championship qualifying match against Liechtenstein, number 198 in the FIFA ranking, 4-0 and went on to win 0-6 against Luxembourg, number 92 in the FIFA ranking. Not the strongest opponents.
