The favorite regime has ended and that was already discussed with the executives of the national team. Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne must become the leaders on and next to the field. And therefore also give the good example.
As previously written, clear agreements have already been made with the two tenors. They must take the young generation by the hand on their way to the World Cup. That also means that they must be there for the Nations League matches against Ukraine to stay in the A-group.
After all, Garcia is not a trainer who lets players rise above him. He wanted clarity about that before he started the case. Lukaku and De Bruyne gave their word. “The young people are equally important, but the anciens have a major role to play,” said Garcia.
“We have clear goals and there is still a lot possible. A few years ago, Belgium was still a world power, but that has now weakened a bit. There is still a lot of talent to become a world team again. The discussions with the anciens about how Being seeing it is important. “
I want players to come up with motivation
Garcia is not going to allow Domenico Tedesco to choose their matches. For that he also wants to stay well informed of the ins and outs within their clubs.
-“It is the first time that I am going to take care of a country, but I want as much information as possible. That is why I would like my staff to be in close contact with the clubs’ staff, and vice versa. There must be an interaction Such that we are aware of everything, “said the 60-year-old Frenchman.
They therefore stick to their bretels better, both at the KBVB and within the players’ group. “I’m going to do it in the way Rudi Garcia,” grinned the new national coach. “I want to start from our strength, not adapt to the opponent and give the players confidence.”
“We can become one of the best teams in the world again, but when I saw the match magazine against Israel, I didn’t think it was normal for so many players to miss. I want the players to come up with motivation. They have to come on foot.”
