Tedesco in the hot seat? An opportunity for young people? The Belgium-Israel match in three questions

Our consultant Kevin Mirallas has answered the three big questions surrounding our Red Devils’ match against Israel this Sunday.

Different issues surround the Red Devils’ trip to Hungary to face Israel. The Red Devils must not lose by more than two goals to secure their third place, synonymous with the play-offs to remain in League A.

To understand this match, we asked 3 questions to our consultant Kevin Mirallas.

What tactic?

Domenico Tedesco surprised everyone on Thursday by aligning a 5-man defense. A tactical choice to try to counter Italy or a real desire to evolve in this system in the future? The lineup for this Sunday evening should give us some answers, but for Kevin Mirallas, this 5-man defense is a good idea. “We have profiles to play like that, then we have to work on it and determine a game project, which we don’t have“, deplores the former Red Devil.

Does Tedesco play its role?

After a disappointing Euro and this unconvincing Nations League campaign, the pressure has never been so great on Domenico Tedesco. The supporters had also expressed their dissatisfaction with with the “Tedesco, resignation” intoned several times in the stands. This Thursday, whistles sounded again, but for Kevin Mirallas, the coach does not play his role against Israel. “I don’t think so. The damage is already deep, but everything will also depend on the new sports director (Vincent Mannaert, editor’s note).”

An opportunity for young people?

This match against Israel will therefore not be “for butter” with the specter of relegation hanging over the match. Domenico Tedesco wanted to use this Nations League as a “laboratory” to carry out tests, and given the many absentees he ultimately had no choice. Will he push the tests to the point of launching certain young people such as Sardella, Mbangula or Smets into the deep end? “Having young people play would be completely normal, especially after all the departures from the national gathering“, thinks our consultant.

One thing is certain, Belgium is expected this Sunday in Hungary, and this match should give some answers to the many questions surrounding our national team.

The match can be followed from 8 p.m., live, on RTL club and RTL play.
