After Belgium’s narrow qualification to the Round of 16, Belgian media outlet RTBF reported that former international Albert believes the team’s overall strength is declining. Even more worrying, many players seem unfazed by this.
Facing the camera, Albert first analyzed Belgium’s performance so far. He said, “Since the start of the tournament, Belgium has missed a lot. In the simplest group stage, we got 4 points, only one win, two goals, we haven’t gotten much positive from the start of this European Championship.”
Worse, the Belgian national team has even clashed with the fans who support them. He said, “The fans’ anger is justified. Maybe they should remind the players on this national team. We have a golden generation, now there are talented players. Maybe they should realize that what they’ve delivered in weeks and even months is not enough. Some players are not aware of this yet.”
Regarding whether Belgium will rebound, he said, “Hopefully, otherwise it will be very difficult. It will be difficult against France. But anything can happen. The Danish fairytale in 1992, the Greek myth in 2004. These are all extraordinary examples. Tedesco has a few days to prepare for this game, and I hope he can do it 100%. I still believe Belgium has the ability to hurt this French team, but it all depends on this French team.”
