The Red Devils lost 1-0 to Israel. That’s what Domenico Tedesco had to do with pages full of absentees in his big book of magic.
Anyone who thought that things couldn’t get any worse and that the Red Devils would end the campaign in the Nations League on a positive note was in for a treat on Sunday evening.
The chalice had to be emptied all the way to the bottom, with a defeat against Israel as the absolute low point of 2024 for the Red Devils.
What struck Philippe Albert most was that many players are actually a size too small to play for the Red Devils. Selection policy has been under fire for quite some time.
Albert is shocked by how many players send their cat to the national team under the guise of an injury. And how many drop out even during the international break.
“Whether in Belgium or abroad, the clubs have become too important. The national team must become a priority again,” he told La Capitale.
“I am curious to know how many players who missed or had to leave this meeting will play normally for their clubs next weekend. It makes me sad to even think about it.” And rest assured he’ll be right…
