On July 2nd, Belgium lost 0-1 to France in the Round of 16 of the European Championship, ending their journey. After the match, Belgian coach Roberto Martinez attended the press conference.
About the game
Tedesco: An hour after the final whistle, it’s hard for me to analyze this game after losing in the last minute with an own goal.
About Casteels
Tedesco: Casteels has been brilliant in this European Championship. His saves against Ukraine are just one example. His saves meant we could play tonight. Today’s goal is not his fault.
About the tactics
Tedesco: Tonight’s game, it’s hard to analyze details. We also caused trouble for France’s backline. Their line was very high, and we wanted to use three forwards to attack the space behind them. That was the plan. On the defensive side, I wanted to shut down France’s two flanks, and that worked.
About the team performance
Tedesco: Against Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine, we used high pressing. But the players thought that if we scored one goal, the opponent would be out. It’s a pity to think about Lukaku not scoring and going home.
