Timothy Castagne was upset tonight after the Red Devils’ defeat against France. The defender did not hide his disappointment, not only about this match, but also about the rest of the national team’s tournament.
France knocked out Belgium in the last 16 of Euro 2024. The Red Devils failed to make the difference and ultimately lost after conceding a goal at the very end of the match, on a ball deflected by Jan Vertonghen.
Questioned by Emiliano Bonfigli, defender Timothy Castagne did not hide his disappointment with this early elimination. “We concede a deflected goal like that, it’s not easy. We didn’t score, we conceded. We have to take responsibility and say that we didn’t do enough,” he said, avoiding hiding. Even if he defended the Belgian team. “We tried everything. We weren’t fair enough with the ball. Even in the last shot. Defensively, they only had chances on long-range shots. We were very compact, but we may have sinned in other phases with the ball.”he regretted.
For him, the Euro, in general, will not remain in the memories and the Red Devils will have to assume responsibility. “For me it’s a failure, since we are eliminated”he even declared when taking stock. “It’s difficult to win a Euro, but whether you’re second or last, it doesn’t change anything. The goal is to win it”.
