Belgium coach Pelatih Roberto Martinez reluctant to think about the chances of a champion Euro 2020. Now Belgium just focus on getting rid of Portugal in the round of 16.

The Red Devils undeniably become one of the favorite European champions. Not only containing top players like Romelu Lukaku, Kevin de Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois, and others, Belgium also performed brilliantly after sweeping three matches in the group phase.

Martinez believes that Belgium has been getting stronger since being defeated by France in the 2018 World Cup semifinals. However, Belgium must not think too far ahead Euro 2020.

“We are getting stronger. I think in any tournament, you actually have two tournaments in one tournament. One tournament is the group stage, and you need to use those three games to prepare all the players.”

“Then you have the knockout phase, which is a different tournament than the tournament itself. I agree with your analysis of our performance, but what’s also important for me is that I can use 22 players in those three games.”

“We’ll see. We have to beat Portugal in Sevilla first in the last 16. What do I always say to you? Always watch game by game, step by step!” say Martinez to ESPN.

“I don’t think it’s a tournament that you can predict. I think it’s a tournament where you need to see which team is more prepared for the unexpected and for that reason, I think, it’s very difficult to judge,” he said. add.
