It’s not going well for Belgium! This Monday evening, the Red Devils failed to overcome the French obstacle in the round of 16 of Euro 2024.
Domenico Tedesco’s players lost 1-0. A late goal from Randal Kolo Muani changed the outcome of the match. After the game, Belgian winger Jérémy Doku did not hide his frustration after his team’s defeat against the French.
For him, Didier Deschamps’ players were lucky.
“Did you see the goal they scored? That’s how it is, it’s a bit lucky. They had chances, but mostly shots from afar. For the rest, they weren’t that dangerous. We were well positioned and we had chances too. They have top-level defenders. The few chances we had, we had to put them in the back of the net,” he said in the mixed zone.
Before continuing his speech: “Our regrets? Efficiency. Before they scored, we also had chances. Conceding a goal like that is luck. There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s a shame. Were we afraid to play them? Not at all, we weren’t afraid. You have to analyse the teams carefully. Being more of a unit than usual didn’t mean we were afraid, it’s being smart, playing to our qualities. It worked today, we conceded a lucky goal but that’s how it is.”
