On Tuesday we had the chance to relax and play cards with Jan Vertonghen. The defender had a correct analysis after the match against England. But he also wanted to highlight two individual achievements.
England was a good match, but it also exposed sore points. Although Vertonghen does have the idea that there is still work to be done on this. “We are certainly not a bad team, but we can certainly do better. We have to give away fewer chances,” he said.
“Everyone with us has to stay fit. The most important months are now coming up at the clubs. We first have to give everything there and pay close attention to our body. And then we finally have a few weeks to work hard with the national team,” he said.
The Red Devils gather 10 days before the start and 14 before the first match. “Until now it has been difficult to put in long training sessions and work tactically. We do have time for that before the European Championships.”
Youri? He was really strong after all the criticism he received
And above all, we hope that De Bruyne will be top fit by then and Romelu Lukaku will maintain his top form. “Romelu? It certainly makes a difference for our game to have him there. We need him as that target man, that he also gets to the ball. There are also matches where a different kind of striker also gets involved. , but in this system he is necessary for us.”
He also had a word for Youri Tielemans. “Youri was fantastic. He started with the national team at an incredible pace and then had some criticism, also in the Nations League. I don’t want to single anyone out, but because you now do it yourself… He was really strong “Two goals, but also very important in the game itself.”
