As Belgium faces France on Monday at 6 p.m. in the round of 16 of Euro 2024, Johan Bakayoko appeared at a press conference to take stock before this crucial encounter.
On Monday, Belgium and France will hold their breath in a match that promises to be particularly intense. After a tricky group stage for the Red Devils, the players will be keen to show something different during this round of 16 match against our neighbours. Present at a press conference to take stock of the team, Johan Bakayoko spoke this afternoon.
He first spoke about his non-starting, for the moment, during this Euro. “I’m not frustrated, but I admit that I’m still a little disappointed. It’s normal for any player who remains on the bench. In the end, it’s the coach who makes the decisions and so much so. We’re getting results, I can’t complain.”
When a journalist asked the player about Belgium’s strengths to beat France, the PSV striker particularly highlighted the qualities of our defense: “As we’ve shown all year, I think we’re very strong offensively, defensively too. To be honest, we concede very few goals, and I don’t think that’s emphasized enough for my taste.“.
He also wanted to point out that, even if some names in the team are less prestigious than those of other selections, the players have a lot of qualities.Maybe we don’t have the names that other countries have, but we have players who have extraordinary qualities“, he concluded.
