"Before the 2022 World Cup, we already said that our group was just sexy. And what came out of that...?", - Belgium national tea

Belgium defender Timothy Castagne has told what he thinks about the group in which his national team will play at Euro 2024 (Belgium, Ukraine, Romania, Slovakia).

"In the team, we tried not to particularly assess the degree of difficulty of our group. Before the 2022 World Cup, we already said that our group is just sexy. And what came out of that? (At the World Cup in Qatar, Belgium played in the group with Croatia, Morocco and Canada, but failed to get out of it, finishing third - ed.).

So this time we want to concentrate on our work. It doesn't matter what team we face, the main thing is us and our style of play. In any tournament at any given moment it all comes down to one particular match. We need as much motivation as possible for each game. For now, I will say one thing: we know we have everything we need to do better than we did at the 2022 World Cup.

Winning Euro 2024? Our national team certainly has quality, it has talented players, but to win the tournament we need, at the very least, to realise our potential, to make the quality we know about on the inside visible on the outside. In addition, there will be other strong teams at the tournament. For example, the French national team or the Spanish national team have much more talent than our team. On the other hand, there will be less pressure on us," RTBF quoted Kastanja as saying.
