"It's a crazy group. But our goal is first place in it," Belgium defender

Belgium defender Arthur Theate commented on the victory of his team over Romania (2:0) in the second round of the group stage of Euro 2024, and also said what he thinks about the outcome of the fight in Group "E". Recall, in the final round of the group stage Belgians will play with the national team of Ukraine.

"Victory over Romania is of great importance. Yes, before this match there was pressure on us, but we did not doubt ourselves. I think it was evident from the first minutes of the match with the Romanians. As a result, we played a good match and showed high intensity. Our high pressing worked well. We felt that there was stability and calmness in our game.

The climax in our group? We play to win every match, so we're not going to get into scoring and options. Yes, it's a crazy group and anything can happen in it. But our goal is to take first place in this group. Of course, it won't be easy. It's not easy now. We knew it would be like this when we lost to Slovakia in the first match. So we had the right attitude.

It's great that we beat Romania. Now we need to do the same in the match with Ukraine. We just need to analyze our game, take only good things from it, do our best work and then everything will be fine," Teate said during yesterday's press conference.
