Introduced as the new coach of RC Lens this Friday, Will Still spoke about the overall level of Euro 2024, which was generally disappointing, and the Belgian-British coach also spoke about Monday’s France-Belgium.
Will Still does not take great pleasure in watching the matches of this Euro 2024, and he has not hidden it. Since the start of the tournament, on June 14 with Germany’s victory over Scotland (5-1), the notable matches can be counted on the fingers of one hand. On the eve of the start of the 8th finals (Italy-Switzerland and Germany-Denmark on Saturday), the new coach of RC Lens made his first assessment of the group stage, in his very particular style. “I’ve watched a lot, a lot of matches but we’re a bit bored. I hope it will improve, but we haven’t seen any exceptional matches.. And we all hope for a Belgian victory on Monday,” he assured at a press conference, in comments reported by L’Equipe.
“It would be wonderful if Belgium won”
His support for Kevin de Bruyne’s teammates did not prevent Still from highlighting his disinterest in the poster which will take place on Monday in Düsseldorf (6 p.m.) between the players of Didier Deschamps and those of Domenico Tedesco. “I’m not going to lie to you, I almost don’t give a damn because I don’t follow the England team anymore but it’s catastrophic! Okay, I’m kidding. But out of pride, I would like the Belgian team to win to annoy you“, continued the new coach of RC Lens. Second in group E, Belgium did not want to do much to avoid crossing paths with the Blues, with a sad draw against Ukraine (0-0 ) at the conclusion of its unconvincing group stage (defeat against Slovakia 0-1 and success against Romania 2-0). “Belgium’s start is not good but I like to taunt people. It would be magnificent if Belgium won. it would give me one more card to play in the locker room, that would be ideal,” admitted Will Still who, undoubtedly, will be in front of his screen on Monday for this round of 16 awaited by many.
