But we managed to respond and score from a corner (Ashley Williams, 30th, Editor’s note).” A goal which completely changed the match according to Coleman: “When we did that, we felt a new breath in the match. We went from the normality of conceding against Belgium who were going to win to: ‘wait a bit , there’s another team and they have something to say.'”

You have the five major championships (Premier League, Bundesliga, Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1). But not far behind, there is Belgium”, he believes, recognizing that his task at OHL will not be easy, “Abroad, we consider it as a serious competition but also as a difficult environment in which to work. big challenge but I’m happy, I can’t wait to get started.”
