A good debut in the U27 European Championship with a clear and deserved victory against the tough Azərbaycan.

The game was immediately difficult to see the very defensive tactics of our opponent who played with six defenders.
The whole game was in our domain and we had the patience and skill, this time, to take advantage of the scoring opportunities !!

Great proof of Wuytens author of four goals, of the defender Ba and in general of the midfielders.

The next round will see us engaged against the Israel trained by my friend Monty, a possible victory would lead us to the next round for which that will be our goal.

Good WK

This is a curse still two other injured players, two strikers among the best we have!

Do you know a sanctuary to be blessed? :)

A nice win that allows us to qualify for the knockout stages with a turn in advance.
Game not easy for the nice tactics made by my friend Monty but definitely deserved in the final result.

Today debut for three players with excellent results, namely the defender de Theux de Meylandt, midfielder E. Grouwet and striker F. Rombaut!

The latter was the author of the hat-trick, with three goals on his head, which allowed us to win the game and is a beautiful discovery after that of the other young striker L. De Moerlooze!

In midfield a very positive test for Henoit and in defense Boury and Platteeuw are now a security!

In the next game against Poland we defend the first place in the group but we are fighting between fielding the best training or preserving someone from the holders from injuries or disqualification!

Good WK

Unlike the one that recites the result we played a match that in relation to the opponent met, a team of another level of power, which was very dignified!

The result was realized in the first half where we have suffered three goals on 5 real chances from goals!
In attack our players have almost never managed to overcome the defenders because of the excessive technical power of the opponents unlike his only attacker or the wing that on more occasions have also missed 3/4 defenders!
In the second half, with a defense to 4, we risked less and produced some more action!

The result can not be considered positive but not everything is to be thrown away!

And now in the first 1/8 we will meet France, a truly fearsome and difficult opponent.

Good WK!

At the end of a match played on a par with France comes a defeat that could have also been a victory if we were able to realize our attacks!

There is still some regret for the result, unfortunately we had to do without three fundamental players because of the form that after the world championship even in this situation penalized us!

Now we will continue the European championship in the second part of the scoreboard, continuing to grow young talents to start the process of rebuilding the team that I have already undertaken for several weeks.

Good WK

week 15 - U27 European Championship - Group match Česká republika- België = 4:0

Sorry
I think it's the worst game played by the team this season but when you never win a duel individually and when you make technical mistakes in dangerous areas of the field then it becomes impossible to make a positive result against a very strong team like the Republic czech.
For my part, a few errors of positioning on the offside and some not right movement of the midfielders.

Good WK

The season has almost come to an end and certainly has been a disappointing season for the results!

I must say that, especially in the world championship, the lack of luck and the problem we had with the form of many fundamental players have affected the losses suffered!
But I love taking my responsibilities and therefore I know that the community might not consider my work to be sufficient for this last season!

If I analyze in full the work done in this two years I can say that not everything was negative because if it is true that the final results have not been very positive it is also true that in these two years have discovered several new players, has been rebuilt to entire database and relationships have been created with various managers who train the young talents of the future.

Belgium is in a phase of transition because many owners are all over the threshold of 31 years and the young generation that should replace them still is not sufficiently competitive both in quality and quantity (for example there are very few strikers), a technician who knows well the reality and the whole player park and their potential could be able to complete this process!

Because, above all, of this last unhappy season, for a sort of possibility of redemption, I would like to have a chance and still be the protagonist of the fate of this national team, which I love very much!

Obviously this will not depend on my will but on what the Belgian community "will feel" to do and decide for my fate, I can only confirm my maximum commitment and availability!

thank you

Rombaut had a pop on Striker..

thanks it's a good notice!

Don't want to jynx it, but commerman has his highest form yet

Commerman unfortunately is one of those players that because of the form I could not use this season, as I said several times we were not very lucky with the appearance of the random!

I hope I can give him a chanche next Saturday!

Off course you can and you should!
Even if his form is not ideal, it's a friendly and he deserves his debut more than ever!
Maybe an NT-cap might change his form...

No, I do not think that the NT matches can influence the form but in any case we will try.

As for the debut commermann has already played in the national team with very good results is certainly one of the best mid of the new generation but unfortunately the very low form has penalized its use!

I hope in the next games, and especially the next season, if I'm still driving the NT, to be able to make the fulcrum of our midfield!

It's not proven that NT-matches, or any matches have any effect on players form, but that counts for the opposite aswel.
Form is random, yet sometimes it's coincidentially fluctuated after certain events, or after transfers... We don't know so if it doesn't help, it won't do much harm... Fact is that the extra training will help him grow faster and the extra experience will make him play better...
