How does Belgium play?
It is not necessary to detail the individual talent that the Belgian team has with players of the stature of Courtois, De Bruyne, Witsel, Carrasco, Hazard… Probably the best generation of footballers in its history, but it is difficult for them to go far and win important titles . Perhaps it is the big step that this Belgian team is missing.
They started the World Cup with many doubts against a great version of Canada, which deserved much more. Belgium did not have great chances and neither did they play a very offensive game when they have players to do so. In fact, Belgium is characterized by playing a lot with set pieces and being strong in defense with a line of three and two long wingers who defend in a line of five.
Belgium is capable of not dominating a match and killing you in various ways. Or with a long pass that destroys the rival’s pressure line, either on a set piece or with the individual quality of their players. They don’t need much more. They are strong in the back and up top they have a lot of dynamite.
