During his first press conference at his new club Lens, Will Still had a few words for the national teams present at the Euro. The Belgian coach did not mince his words.
Will Still, the new coach of RC Lens, was present for the first time in front of journalists this Friday, June 28. The Belgian-British used this press briefing to discuss Euro 2024.
“I’ve watched a lot of Euro matches, but we’re getting a little bored. The Euro isn’t great,” said the 31-year-old technician in comments quoted by RMC Sport.
He also had a word for the famous round of 16 on Monday July 1 between France and Belgium. “Out of pride, I want to say that I hope Belgium will win, but that’s really to annoy you. Because I think that at the start of the competition the Belgians weren’t crazy, just like of the Euro I like to taunt people, so if Belgium wins, that gives me an extra card to stay in the locker room” said the native of Braine-l’Alleud in Belgium.
“The English team is catastrophic”
Not satisfied with these barbs, Will Still continued by criticizing this time England, the country of his parents. “I know that people say that I am Belgian, but I am much more the English team, which is catastrophic, let’s not lie to ourselves” declared the former coach of Stade de Reims.
