Young Devils beat Turkey 2-0 after a fierce battle. “I had already mentioned before the game that he wouldn’t go without a fight, so it was a bit predictable,” the coach laughed.
“We played against a team that used all means to destabilize us. We put our technical abilities in football against that, but we were also in good health. We did well. There were some stages that we made the most of.”
Halfway 0-0 through Mathiesen he wasn’t quite comfortable. “In a few moments I thought we were falling into a trap. But Lewis (Openda editor) said not to worry.” I have everything under control, I know what to expect,” he said.
I won’t cheer until we get there. Everyone knows that another very important match will follow in four days, and it may well be a decisive one.
With 15 out of 15, the Little Devils appear at the top of the first qualifying group. “We’re going to direct playoffs, it would be crazy if we didn’t do it now,” says Matissen.
“But I won’t cheer until we get there. Everyone knows that in four days (in Scotland) another very important match, perhaps already decisive, will follow for sure towards second place. But of course we want first.”
“This team may be lacking in some qualities, but they are aware of that and absorb what it takes to make the game fall in the right direction. This is an unlikely force.”
“This is a very nice group”
Connie de Winter, who creates good weather at Juventus U-23, was strong in defence. “The Turks are good tactically, but we proved our ability to defend well and keep a clean sheet,” he said. “They wanted to test me, but I did really well.”
Moreover Jerry Verchatterin He was satisfied with the approach of the Belgians. “Turkey is a team that never drags its foot in duels. But today we made the difference mainly on the mentality. This is a very impressive group who know each other very well. This is one of our strengths. Again against Scotland. Ben.”
There are chances for the Belgians against Scotland. “We are very close to qualifying,” he realizes Louis Openda. “The Scots are tough opponents, difficult to play against. We beat Turkey with a good mentality and once again we put everything on the three points against Scotland.”
