Former France midfielder Emmanuel Petit is confident that his country's national team will have no problem coping with Belgium in today's match of the 1/8 finals of Euro 2024.
"France should have no problems with such Belgium. I respect the Belgians, but I am far from being afraid for the outcome of the upcoming match. I think it's time to stop calling the Belgian national team "red devils".
Yes, Belgium has De Bruyne, but look how he showed himself in the group stage: I never expected anything special from him. Jérémy Doku is also capable of providing a spark, but he hasn't been at the same level since the start of the Euros as he was at Manchester City.
We have to respect the Belgians, but I look at their team and I don't see how they can cause us problems. But at the expense of what France can succeed, it is clear: the Belgians have a very poor defense," - quotes Petit RtbfActus.
