It was to be an ‘easy‘ EURO for Belgium, as the nation believed that their beloved players will continue to the elimination round without a fuss, considering the strength of the team. But a starting (and shocking) defeat against Slovakia opened the ‘Pandora box‘ again and criticism started to poor in. Even the 2-0 win over Romania which eased the situation a bit didn‘t bring the much need optimism ahead of the big duel with Ukraine. On the contrary, two days before the game, coach Domenico Tedesco is facing a public criticism from his player‘s father, while his best scorer and captain cannot even be happy when he scores a goal. Not a happy situation.Football forensics and a man who got the short end of the stickManchester City‘s winger Jeremy Doku was asked about all the misses Romelu Lukaku made so far in the tournament as well as his hullified goals due to offsided.”He would have liked to have the goals because, now when he scores, I think he’s scared to celebrate. He didn´t have a lot of luck, but he´s happy. He´s happy because we won our last game. Of course, as a striker, he always wants to score and of course you think of your individual stats, it´s normal. But he´s happy with the impact that he´s having on our team and the chances he´s creating. If you watch the games you can see how important he is for us. He didn´t score but he gave an assist and that´s important as well” said Doku.Tupac would have turned 53 today if Lukaku was the shooterAs for other players, it seems that Leandro Trossard is being criticized too much for his performance against Slovakia in a shocking 1-0 defeat. In fact, the father of Arsenal‘s winger decided to speak publicly and probably make his son‘s life a lot more difficult.“Leandro is criticized, but he was moved from one position to another, it’s difficult to keep a guideline in your game in these conditions. I don’t think Tedesco is a good coach for Belgium, even if he doesn’t have the stubbornness of Roberto Martínez” he told De Morgen. With Trossard already on the bench against Romania (played only 30 minutes), will he play against Ukraine after his father criticized the coach?EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP – GROUP STAGETuesday 19.00: (2.30) Netherlands (3.45) Austria (3.30)19.00: (1.33) France (5.70) Poland (10.5)22.00: (1.42) England (4.70) Slovenia (9.00)22.00: (2.30) Denmark (3.45) Serbia (3.50)
