Euro 2024 Belgium, Tedesco responds testy on Courtois

Belgium technical commissioner Domenico Tedesco commented bitterly in the press room on the Red Devils’ defeat against France, which came as a result of a Vertonghen own goal that displaced Casteels: "We were eliminated because we conceded a goal in the 86th minute, è it is difficult to give an overall judgment and make an analysis now on what è was our European Championship. We will analyze everything that è happened and then we will see in the coming weeks".

"For me è it is always difficult to talk about the episodes, we have to accept the decisions of the field: it would be too easy to always blame the referee or the VAR. With Romania and Slovakia we kept a high pressure, with Ukraine the same although in this case the players knew that with a goal they would be eliminated. To think that Lukaku will go home without a goal è a shame".

Tedesco responded testily to those who asked him about Courtois not being called up, and whether he would have made a difference: "Casteels had a fantastic European Championship, with Ukraine he saved us. He deserved to play again today, he always made the right choices: the goal he conceded tonight was not è a goalkeeper" problem.
