‘Tedesco has a bold plan with the Red Devils European Championship selection’

On Monday, June 17, the Red Devils kick off their European championship with a group match against Slovakia. Domenico Tedesco therefore has less than three months to form his selection. In that respect, the national coach is said to be thinking of a striking plan.

During the past two European championships, the Belgians always reached the quarter-finals. With a new national coach and a refreshed selection, they want to at least equal that in Germany next summer. And if possible, push even further.

So we have to wait and see which 23 players Tedesco will call on to complete this quest. Several boys already seem certain of their place if they can stay fit. The national coach will mainly count on the boys who excelled during the qualifications.

Experiment with clear purpose

Of course, a hopefully fit Kevin De Bruyne must also be added. And there are only a few spots left. That is why Tedesco experimented so fiercely against Ireland on Saturday: he wanted to give some ‘edge cases’ the opportunity to prove themselves.

Although certain experiments had another purpose. According to La Dernière Heure After all, Tedesco is hatching a plan. For example, the national coach would consider sacrificing a defensive force in his selection for an extra offensive pawn.

Extra attacker, versatile defenders

In concrete terms, Tedesco would like to bring as many players as possible at the back who can play multiple positions. That is why Amadou Onana suddenly took a central position against the Irish. Zeno Debast and Timothy Castagne have also previously played in several positions in defense. If Tedesco is convinced that he has sufficient options in defense, he would call up an extra attacker.
