Red DevilsThe joy after Poland was short-lived. After a mediocre football match, Belgium has to make peace by a point lead against Wales (1-1). A goal by Tillmans was blotted out by Johnson five minutes before the end. No clean sheets again, no win in Wales again. And a missed opportunity to approach the Netherlands (2-2 against Wales). The next appointment will be in Poland on Tuesday, but that will be without Kevin De Bruyne, Yannick Carrasco and Thomas Meunier: they can already go on vacation. Dedric Boyata and Axel Witsel Unconfirmed.
The national coach announced changes. “Four or five.” There were five, but not expected. Eden Hazard started off the bench, and Kevin De Bruyne took the captaincy. But the most striking? Defense. Dendoncker, Boyata, and Theate. Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld have been rested.
So it didn’t make sense for Belgium to look for Wales in the opening stage. Defensive chaos from a corner kick – where Ampadu hit the ball after some squabbling – luckily didn’t cost them much after just 5 minutes. Rodon was an offside before that.
A sign of demons awakening. somehow anyway. Hennessy had to speed up with a shot from Tillman. Then they went back to sleep peacefully. Bell and Company did not win. But it was very sloppy from the Belgian side. I’m not keen enough. Trossard only had another chance shortly before the break, but fired 0-1 next to a half-empty goal.
Tillmans broke the spell after the break after an Emiri attack. Across several stations, with the Leicester midfielder as an effective final stop. 0-1. The Belgian engine seemed to have started, but except for a shot from Carrasco, it was weak (also). However, Wales set less in return, due in part to Boyata and his teammates’ gentle defense.
What seemed to be heading towards a dry and efficient 0-1 turned out to be a famous player. Symbolic with a great piece of art, ‘Zedanetji’ by Johnson, who hit 1-1 Castiels in the past. As Jan Mulder subtly said during the break, “I haven’t seen those ‘new legs’ anywhere.” The demons brought it upon themselves. very simple. And, unlike the Netherlands, the Belgians did not take the lead again.
Belgium does not beat Wales again and fails to sneak close to the Netherlands (2-2 against Poland). Wales takes first point in this Nations League.
