Not only in Belgium and Israel, there was a lot to say about the sad defeat of the Red Devils. Foreign media have also been harsh on our national team.
Partly due to a lack of creativity and a big mistake in defense, the Red Devils were beaten 1-0 by Israel this Sunday.
The Spanish newspaper AS also noticed that there were few chances for Belgium. “They couldn’t create clear chances. When danger presented itself, Analysts missed his opportunities,” we can read.
Matt Smets made a big mistake in defense, especially during his national team debut. “He made a horizontal pass right in front of his own penalty area, which is something Imps are taught not to do.”
As for the French newspaper The Teamhe observed a lack of motivation. “The Belgians didn’t seem very motivated to win this match. To top it off, Leandro Trossard had to be replaced due to injury.”
La Gazzetta dello Sport noted that interim coach Tedesco continues to experiment. “The match was conducive to a lot of experimentation by the coaches. In the first half, the Red Devils had the upper hand, they took the initiative, but were never really dangerous.”
