World Cup: a Very Bitter Silver Medal for the Red Lions

image - World Cup: a Very Bitter Silver Medal for the Red Lions - But this defeat cannot erase the good tournament achieved by the Red Lions. The services offered have certainly lacked consistency and consistency, at times, but the results have always been there. "We will have to learn the lessons of this failure", continued Vincent Vanasch, very philosophical despite the disillusionment. “We showed very good things during this World Cup. You certainly don't have to throw it all away. We saw that we could score from the penalty spot despite the absence of Alex Hendrickx after the group stage. It was even one of our strengths. I also saw a lot of character. Some claimed that we were a little old but we managed, each time, to emerge physically at the end of the meeting. This is also worth pointing out. »One of the most downcast players was certainly Victor Wegnez, awarded as the best midfielder in the competition. The Brussels resident was moved and inconsolable. “It's very complicated to swallow because it's four years of sacrifices that go up in smoke. Four years of hard work, daily journeys to Antwerp, training in the cold and the rain, trips abroad, 5 months out of 12, during which we do not see our families. This defeat has a very bitter taste. This silver medal is also far from enough. We are the biggest team in Belgian sport after all our successes. But we still wanted to write a new chapter in this wonderful story. It's hard to say but this tournament is a failure even if we have just played another World Cup final. »The new vice-world champions must however be very proud of their journey in India. And the disappointment will quickly have to be digested because the next deadlines are already at their doorstep with a Euro in August. The Red Lions will once again have to be resilient and demonstrate all their strength of character in the face of adversity. Only in this way can they resume their march forward and win new titles.

The defeat of the Red Lions in the final against Germany is extremely painful for the defending champions. But it will be essential to digest this disappointment as quickly as possible in order to focus on the next objectives, which will arrive this summer.
