“It’s disappointing because Italy has not had a lot of opportunities either because we have defended well”, commented Lisa to RTBF after the match. “”We worked hard to show beautiful things. But it’s not crucial, we still have two beautiful games that arrive and we’re going to do everything to reverse the trend. “
Jarne Teulings Absent, Mariam Toloba above technically: the Belgian Top and Flop – Italy
Too obvious dependence in Wullaert
But the way around the quarters has somewhat closed anyway. The most alarming observation is not the defeat.
We know that Beta’s workforce is not, on paper, not the most qualitative of the plateau in Switzerland but the dependence on Tessa Wullaert has noticed too much this Thursday. The captain is the hub but also the team barometer. So much so that in the first period, Eurlings or Toloba especially looked for it instead of expanding their horizons and finding better solutions.
Three nations in the pole, Belgium far behind: who are the favorites for the female euro?
If the instructions were “gives the ball to Tessa”, the plan did not work. Even when TW9 fell into the game to bring her creativity to construction like three years ago when she had shown another decisive face for Belgian success in England. The recipe did not work this time and no one found this ingredient to launch the revolution.
With this result, Elisabet Gunnarsdottir will therefore have to pray now. First so that Spain is not so strong as during the last confrontation, 1-5 in the League of Nations. But we have already seen it, the Red Flames can be capable of the best in the face of European tenors. If not, the Icelandic will have to pray that Portugal reverses this Italy in the 2nd match. Just to leave everyone in the race on the last day.
