Belgium midfielder Franky Van der Elst assessed the performance of the Belgian national team in the first match against the Ukraine national team (1:3) in the Nations League playoffs for the right to compete in Division “A”.

"Belgium played at the level of Division “B” of the Nations League. Overall, it was of poor quality. The game was below average. The players need to help each other more in certain situations and not stretch the lines. They played as if everything would happen in one, two, three," said Van der Elst, according to Nieuwsblad.
