Football. ua highlights the factors that will help the Belgian national team beat the English.
July 14 will be the penultimate match of the current World Cup - in a match for third place between the teams will compete England and Belgium. The British were in the fight for the bronze after an insulting defeat from the Croats, and the Belgians were weaker than the French.
Football. ua on the eve of the match highlights the reasons why in this fight will be stronger team of Roberto Martinez.
Belgium proved to be better at the championship and more commonplace than the British The Belgians left a better impression on this World Cup and their game fell in love with millions of fans. Let's look at the way the teams go after the group stage. The Belgians made the fans nervous in the match against the Japanese (3-2), but after that they beat the main favorite of the tournament - the Brazilian national team (2-1). At the semi-final stage, the "red devils" were unlucky - it was extremely difficult to fight the pragmatism of the French.
And now we look at the way of the English national team. The passage of Colombia only thanks to a series of penalty shoot-outs, a victory over Sweden in 1/4 and an absolutely deserved departure in the semi-final from the Croats. Even with such a grid, the British did not cope. The Belgians with their game convinced everyone that this team is a real candidate for victory in the tournament, while no one attributed the British to the favorites, even despite their victories.
Additional day of rest Teams spent in Russia for a month and pretty exhausted. After a busy club season, players instead of going on holiday, all the time given to football. It is clear that by the end of the tournament the players practically do not have the strength.
And in this context, an additional day of rest is a very important factor. And rested for a day more just the Belgians. Moreover, the British conducted against the Croats all 120 minutes, which further exacerbates their situation.
The last chance for the Company, Fellaini, Vertonghen, Mertens and Vermaelen to win the World Cup medal In the current team of Belgium is a number of age players who in four years probably will not be taken to the World Cup, making the choice in favor of younger players. In this regard, there is an assumption that these players will be maximally inclined to win tomorrow's match, because this game is their last opportunity to win the World Cup medal.
We are talking about such old-timers and leaders as Vincent Kompani, Jan Vertongen, Marouane Fellaini, Thomas Vermaelen and Dries Mertens. On Euro-2020, they can and will play, but here is the current world championship for them probably the last.
