The return of Jan Vertonghen was very beneficial for the Belgian defence. The calmness he radiated and the skills he showed were of great importance to the Red Devils. He himself was also very comfortable.
After the match he won, Vertonghen spoke with relief and relief about his return. He smiled, saying: “I’m very happy to be back. It’s been a long time for me and in such an important match. It felt good too, yes.”
Vertonghen highlighted the team’s aggressive game plan. “We wanted to play forward with a lot of pressure, not just me and Foote, but everyone else beside us and in front of us. The chances they had were our own making and had to be taken away. We literally gave them that. “They didn’t create anything. We have to get this out of our game.”
He had some very kind words for goalie Quinn Casteels. He provided the assist after a tip from Vertonghen himself. “I called for the kick as much as possible and that led to the assist. Romania continued to maintain that high streak and if Romelu lost the game after that, we were immediately under pressure again. That’s why the ball had to come behind that and Kun understands that. That’s very good.” “
Giving up those opportunities should be removed from our game
Vertonghen added: “I have to congratulate Casteels, who is under a lot of pressure to perform well due to the circumstances, but he is performing brilliantly. Not only because of his assists, but also because of his great goalkeeping.”
Despite the victory, we wasted many opportunities. “The boys up front have a great ability to score. I have full confidence in that. They have already proven that at their clubs. I’m not worried about that.”
Vertonghen was clear about the next match against Ukraine, where a point is enough to qualify. “No, I don’t like the mentality of trying to get one point. We just have to go for the win. We want to win the group.”
