This is not quite the easiest thing in the world to escape the "game that no one likes to play but it's worth a third place, a podium and a bronze medal But this Saturday El Español was the European publication that had the greatest gymnastics and found something that deserves to be mentioned at the beginning of this column – there is a way of quantify the weight of the match, at least from the point of view of the Belgian team is 32 thousand euros.
According to the Spanish newspaper, Belgium's triumph over England, conferring the best Reds ranking in the World Cup, brought in 313 thousand euros for each player. If they had lost, there would have been only 281,000. Here we do not have the 45 thousand euros for each for the rights of the image nor the 50% agreed upon by the total revenue from the sale of official products (should be about 2.5 million euros), so the border between a victory and a defeat was made for 32 thousand euros. At this level, it is little or nothing. In a World Cup, there are much higher values.

Let's start with Thomas Meunier, Romanian Roberto Martínez on the right who was a featherweight in the semi-finals with France and who opened the scoring at 4 ". The movement itself was fantastic, a paradigmatic example of the best that Belgium has spent to explore the depth, the occupation of spaces between the lines, the exploration of the lateral corridors, the deviation in the region to reach the goal, the PSG player has long deserved this goal, being perhaps a less publicized name than De Bruyne, Hazard or Lukaku but one of the elements with more preponderance in the maneuver of l & # 39; team. At the age of 26, the former Club Brugge player, who was working in an auto parts factory (although he had a business outside football ) showed maturity, was one of the best (maybe even the best) in the position and came back to the speed of making a difference in the opposing zone.

– playmakerstats (@playmaker_PT)), Gareth Southgate promoted an authentic revolution at eleven years with half of the team traded: Jones, Rose, Dier, Loftus-Cheek and Delph started early in their attempt to help the front runners score even more goals at Harry Kane, who was well placed to win the top scorer's award. In the case of Rose, for example, the game went badly (despite the new "tactics" of making holes in the socks) and left the break;
Delph, the Manchester City multiplayer player who again beat England for the third time in the World Cup, was the first to give a danger signal, but but the shot went straight into the arms de Courtois. Shortly after Loftus-Cheek, Chelsea midfielder who was loaned to Crystal Palace this season and who is one of the leading flags among the youngest of this young generation of Lions Three: taking advantage of the spaces between the lines and the lack of aggression by Witsel and Tielemans in the recovery of the ball, the 22-year-old threatened the offside trap and had an excellent opportunity to score the opposing defense

Contrary to what we thought, especially after the beginning goal, there was not that rain of goals and opportunities that we are used to these matches to qualify the third and fourth places and even went to England to have more will and initiative, as we have seen in a long ball controlled by Sterling for a shot in the past Kane on the side (23)). Still, it would be a little closer up to the interval except for a detour on Alderweireld following a marked corner out of the box by Witsel with a curling shot that turned out to be from # 39; s help. When Belgium accelerated and the ball fell at the feet of De Bruyne, everything changed; however, he arrived a few times and the 1-0 was even dragged to rest.

Southgate realized that he needed to mount lines and have another criterion in the construction phases, making two quick changes in the second half of the year. time with the sleeves of Lingaard and Rashford. The result was not immediate – and Martinez also gave his "help", because when Lukaku traded against Mertens he gained speed but he lost the pillar that prevented advances from power plants to construction areas, creating in this area a superiority digital – but especially from the 60s, the wear of the main Belgian units was confused with the improvement of the British, who resumed the game.
Eric Dier, with a Low shot near the area and no-one on the ball, gave Courtois 'first-strike warning (68'); soon after, in a simple 2 × 1 combination that left the former Isolated Sporting defender, the ball flew over the giant Chelsea goalkeeper but Alderweireld could, from the basket, move the ball over the line (70 ' At the entrance of the last quarter of an hour, Maguire, head after ball stopped, shoot very close to the post (74th).

First, and always with the Manchester City midfielder to pass those same transitions, Mertens crossed the opposite post, Miller fired a first bomb and Pickford made a big stop (80's). ; Shortly afterwards, De Bruyne's quick exit and superlative vision met Hazard – who had even begun more discreetly – who, with a directed reception, gained an angle in the area and was shooting low without any chance for 2-0 (82)), in the game that many consider to be stupid to exist but which has turned out to be another encounter with quality in this world of Russia.
Hazard marks his 25th ⚽golo by Belgium, becoming the 6th best scorer in the history of the Belgian national team. He scored his third goal at the 2018 World Cup.
Louis van Gaal, former coach of the Netherlands, had already marked this idea. Alan Shearer, a former English striker, was one of many voices who spoke about it in the antechamber of this meeting. However, in a completely different competitive environment, this Belgium-England could be, for example, the final of the next European Championship in 2020. Of course, there will always be France and Croatia, the finalists of the Cup of the world. And Germany, Spain or Portugal, eliminated prematurely. But these generations of players who were this afternoon in St. Petersburg still have a lot to give to football. And in the case of the Red Devils, it is worth much more than the difference of 32 thousand euros per player who gave this victory.
