About this game
“What I want to say is that we conceded a goal in the first 10 minutes of the game, which really put us in a disadvantageous situation. It took us a long time to recover from this blow. In the first half, we were in attack organization and There were deficiencies in technical performance. We pointed out these problems at halftime, and the players made corresponding adjustments after the break."
"We had 20 shots in this game, and 8 of them hit the goal. Judging from our performance in the second half, our strategy was very good. It was well executed and the attacking players also gave full play to their abilities. I think the Kazakh goalkeeper deserves praise for his outstanding performance."
About Kazakhstan's goal
"This is indeed a typical Kazakhstan style. We already knew how they would attack and took corresponding precautions, but we still failed to prevent them from scoring. After the game started, our performance was really bad, which put us in trouble."
This is not the first time the team has a poor start. What do you think?
"As you said, this situation happens frequently. We will analyze these problems in detail and discuss them with the players to avoid similar situations from happening again, especially on the eve of the World Cup. We did make some mistakes, and there are already too many of them. In future analyses, we will pay more attention to these mistakes. But please bear in mind Remember, the players on our center back line are relatively young. Among them, Joaquin is making his first appearance in the Belgian national team."
"We need time to correct these mistakes, but we must act as soon as possible to prepare for the World Cup."
Are you dissatisfied that qualification for the World Cup will not be determined until next week?
"Because originally we could celebrate when we return to Belgium tonight, but now the celebration has been postponed to next week. We originally tried every means to try to qualify for the World Cup in this competition, but it turns out that it is not that simple, and all the results are unpredictable. We have known this for a long time. But I still want to stay optimistic and believe that we will be able to win and qualify."
