We will remember the qualification, we will come back for the rest. This place in the eighth finals of the Euro is, in any case, the only thing that Amadou Onana wants to remember, in tune with the rest of the Devils on communication.
The Devils fell against a solid Ukraine this Wednesday evening. “We were not surprised. Ukraine is a very good team, which is there for a reason. They deserved to go through, football is cruel and we have to accept it” declared Amadou Onana on our microphone.
The Devils will only retain the qualification… and the supporters will have to be content with that, for the moment
Whistled by their supporters, the Belgians did not play a good match. Not at all, even. But for the defensive midfielder, there is only one thing to remember. “We passed, that was the most important thing. The reaction of the fans never feels good, but they expected a little bit more. The team gave everything to finish first in the group, I can I assure you. The qualification is the thing to remember, it was the most important thing.”
“As long as we are good among ourselves, there is no big problem. We hope that the supporters will be behind us, we need them. They were superb during the first two matches, we hope that they will be there to push us into 1/8ths.”
It doesn’t do France any good to play Belgium.”
Second in the group, the Devils will face France in the round of 16. The 2018 semi-final is still in everyone’s minds… so is the comeback suffered in the Nations League. “We know the quality of France, especially offensively. We will have to prepare well. It doesn’t do them any good to play against Belgium either, they know that we can be very dangerous.”
In the event of first place, Belgium could have avoided a large part of the tournament’s top names, by finding itself in the easiest part of the table. “In quotes, easier. In a tournament, nothing is ever really easy. These are not things that I look at” concluded Amadou Onana.
