Belgium coach Martinez spoke after his elimination from Euro 2020: “The feelings are one of sadness and sorrow. We don’t deserve to be out, we did a great job to be ready, to be ready from day one. Italy is an excellent team, unfortunately it went against us. In the first half they played better, we created only on the counterattack and not on play. In the second half we were in focus, looking for and even touching a draw. I don’t have a single regret for how the boys played ”.
“Italy has grown in recent months, they have confidence, they are a team, they have fun. The victories help, they started better in the first half, in the second half we did well and we were unlucky not to score. Italy deserved to go on and I wish them the best “.
