The Belgians have been dominated by Canada and want to prove their service to secure a place in the next stage of the World Cup
THE Belgium takes the field this Sunday, at 10 (Brasilia time), to guarantee his classification for the next phase of the world Cup🇧🇷 For group F, The Belgians face Morocco and a victory is enough for him to move on to the knockout stage, erase the ghost of the bad performance on his debut and gain some peace of mind in the competition.
In the first round, the slim 1-0 win against Canada was not a true portrait of what the match was like. Dominated for most of the match, Belgium found a goal from Batshuayi at the end of the first half which ensured the triumph. But what most caught the attention of the football world was the poor performance of the Red Devils. Courtois’s penalty save, 10′ into the first half, was just the epitome of a below par performance from a team that has a lot to offer. Important players for the team such as Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Yannick Carrasco, for example, had lackluster performances and were swallowed up by the high pressure and speed of the Canadian team.
In this Sunday’s duel against Morocco, Belgium has the opportunity to show all the football that has placed them at the level of the second best team in the world. A victory is enough for the Belgians to qualify early for the round of 16, but a triumph with a great performance can bring important serenity to Roberto MartÃnez’s men.
Belgium arrived at the World Cup suspected of bad results in the cycle and a surprising defeat in the last friendly before the World Cup against Egypt. Therefore, all that is expected of a generation with so many talents is well-played football, which has not been the case. A qualification to the next phase still in the second leg of the group stage could take a load off the shoulders of the players and coach Roberto MartÃnez, who could be in a little less hurry to recover Lukaku.
The striker is not yet in condition to enter the field due to an injury to his left thigh suffered in matches against Inter, but should be able to return to the squad against Croatia in the last round of the group stage. An early classification could also make Lukaku’s debut less pressing.
Apparently, Belgium’s place in the round of 16 will come with or without pressure, largely due to first-round results and the team’s technical superiority over the other sides in the group. But the Belgian team wants and must show more service, and the match against Morocco is the perfect moment to do it.
