Before the match taking place at 11:00 p.m. tonight (July 1, Vietnam time), in Dusseldorf (Germany), coach Domenico Tedesco said: "Without belief, we cannot do anything. Therefore, the Belgian team needs to have belief before the match with the French team."

"We need a real match, against a real opponent. The Belgian team has a strong belief that we will succeed in the upcoming match. In the past few days, our training sessions have been full of confidence," added coach Tedesco.

Belgium's performance in the group stage was not very convincing. However, the Italian coach leading the "Red Devils" is not concerned about that. What Mr. Tedesco cares about is the result.

"Fans have the right to demand whatever they want. They have emotions and they pay for tickets to the games, so they have the right to demand. The important thing is that we keep moving forward," said Mr Tedesco.

"The next important thing is that we are still a united team. After the result of the match against France, I think the fans will forget our previous journey. I believe there is one team that is disappointed when we passed the group stage, that is the French team," coach Tedesco added.

In addition, coach Tedesco revealed that the match with the French team is a match in which the Belgian team will play offensively.

The Italian coach shared: "I think this will be a match where both teams control the ball and there will be many goals. We created a lot of scoring opportunities in the group stage, we just didn't take advantage of the opportunities well."

"If you look at the statistics of the Belgian and French teams in the group stage, you can comment that we are the weak team, but in reality that is not the case," coach Domenico Tedesco affirmed.
