June 30, Belgium international Tielemans gave a pre-match interview.
What are the positive and negative factors after the group stage?
“There are more positive aspects, we have qualified for the knockout stage, which is important. Another positive is that we played well against Romania. In the rest of the games, we defended very solidly, and I think we can still play better.”
Can you talk about your goal against Romania?
“It was a nice goal, we pressed high and immediately transitioned from defense to attack, the teamwork was smooth, and I just needed to shoot from outside the box and break the deadlock.”
Does Belgium have the ability to score more goals?
“We are quite dangerous in the box, when we are outside the box, if we can do better with the final pass and shot, we can score more goals. I think Belgium will do better in this aspect.”
What are France’s strengths?
“They have many strengths, they play very smartly, they know how to win. They didn’t play their best football in the group stage, but even so, they qualified successfully.”
Talk about Kante?
“Kante is exceptional, we know his characteristics, he is always everywhere, constantly pressing, constantly intercepting, constantly filling space. We have to beware of him, from a team perspective, he is absolutely key.”
Are you ready for the knockout stage?
“Yes, we are focused and motivated. As long as the team is in a good mental state, I don’t think we will have any problems with our physical fitness.”
