This is the paradox of the evening: Belgium is eliminated but it was greeted by its supporters, who still came in large numbers to Düsseldorf this Monday – there were more than 10,000 of them behind the goal and certainly in a bend. The atmosphere was set from the warm-up and the only false note was whistling the Marseillaise, at the back. Sometimes stressed, and less noisy, the Belgian kop knew how to make noise again when the Red Devils forced a few chances.
The Devils under the microscope: Openda and Lukaku powerless, Vertonghen the unfortunate
A support that the players noticed, far from the boos from Stuttgart after the incomprehension at the end of the match against Ukraine. “It was very nice, rejoiced Koen Casteels. We heard them a lot and they pushed the team. It was like the matches before.” Captain Kevin de Bruyne, who had decided not to greet the fans last Wednesday. “As I expected, they were there to support us. It makes me happy and proud.”
Kolo Muani’s goal silenced the voices, for a while. But at the final whistle the supporters were not left speechless to applaud De Bruyne and his teammates, who stayed, this time, for long minutes. The appointment for the start of the school year, and the Nations League, is already set. Against France in particular.
