The Belgian coach, Domenico Tedescospoke before the challenge against France. The eighth-finals are the most important match of this round. “France are the favorites, that’s clear: but we also want to move forward.”
On Lukaku. “I was sorry for the boos in Stuttgart but that’s part of the past. Now we need them. Lukaku has already had moments like this both in clubs and with the Belgian national team. But he will come out of it as always because he is a leader. And then for us he remains fundamental even when he doesn’t score.”
