Lhe Red Devils will face Montenegro this Wednesday, June 5 in a preparation match for Euro 2024. On the eve of this match, Domenico Tedesco presented himself to the press
The coach first took stock of the injured. “Vertonghen, Tielemans and Theate will not play on Wednesday. Concerning Vranck, we don’t want to take any risks. I can’t guarantee it yet, but I’m confident we can go to the Euros with a core in top form. »
Against Montenegro, Tedesco says he will field “a good starting eleven”, and also admits not being a big fan of these friendlies so close to a tournament. “There will be some changes, but the team will be solid. However, we have to manage the load, because we have trained a lot in the last few days. I would have preferred to play only one or no preparation match to train us more, but we have to play 10 official matches. We accept it and we try to reap the benefits of it. You can see in a match what you have trained on. This also counts as training. »
Axel Witsel has returned to the national team and the coach seems like it from what he has seen in training in recent days. “A new player in the group brings a new dynamic. The atmosphere is really good and I’m happy with the intensity of the training. We will see if Axel will take Vertonghen’s place on the field. He is not here just to be present. He wants to play. But Debast and Faes are also fit, so I haven’t made a decision yet.”
