Devils supporters deliver verdict after De Cuyper's debut

Devils supporters deliver verdict after De Cuyper’s debut

On Wednesday evening, the Red Devils played their penultimate training match in the lead-up to the European Championship. Against Montenegro, national team coach Domenico Tedesco took the opportunity to try a few things. Maxime de Cuyper was allowed to make his debut.

The Club Brugge wing-back has been repeatedly overlooked by Tedesco during recent international matches, as he preferred other options. But due to his strong performances at Blauw-Zwart and the uncertainty surrounding Jan Vertonghen and Arthur Theate, De Cuyper was still included in selection for the European Championship.

In order to allow him to gain first experience before the start of the final round in Germany, Tedesco decided to allow De Cuyper to start immediately against Montenegro. So his first hat is a fact. The Brugge fan favorite certainly did well.

Strong defensively, present offensively

Defensively, he hasn’t really been tested against a relatively limited opponent. Although he certainly didn’t make any major mistakes. Offensively, De Cuyper contributed several times. He participated well in the build-up and was close to scoring at the start of the second half. Reactions on ‘X’ social media have been very positive. Many followers see him as a suitable candidate to start in the starting lineup during the European Championship.
