The Belgian national team suffered an unexpected blow in the last stage of the UEFA Nations League group stage - Switzerland shocked the Belgians and left them out of the final four.
Belgium led by two goals, but made brutal mistakes in defense and conceded five goals - Switzerland triumphed with a score of 5:2.
After the disappointment of the match, the head coach of the team, Roberto Martinez, did not hide his disappointment: "Were we too arrogant? I don't think so. They played excellently on the counter-attacks, while we forgot how to defend."
"It's hard to explain what happened in these matches. We started them well, but Switzerland realized they have nothing to lose and risked everything to punish us severely.
Of course, we gave them the opportunity to come back into the game. We need to learn from these matches, understand what we did wrong. It's quite hard to accept this failure when you know you started the match very well," - stated R. Martinez.
