World Cup means madness. Field craze spreads across the globe. And in the first quarter-final of the World Cup in Russia, Brazil-Belgium is entering the field today. Both teams have prepared for this match. The opponent is about to be slaughtered. However, the Belgium coach himself told the table and strategy of killing Brazil.
In important matches in events like the World Cup, coaches usually make special plans with the best stars of the opponent. There are special and secret tactics to keep those players out of the team plan. Such as not allowing Lionel Messi to take shots with his left foot, not giving Cristiano Ronaldo space to run with the ball - there are many records of success with such plans.

Mbappo should not be allowed to counter attack. They are also scrambling to stop Griezmann. But this time the Brazilian team is not dependent on a single star. Therefore, the Belgian coach did not have any special plans for any single player. The thought is natural. This Brazil is packed with stars. Neymar, Coutinho, Paulinho, Jesus, Marcelo or Willian have the ability to rise from the bottom and create danger.
Where is the opportunity to make special plans with so many stars? Therefore, the Belgian coach is looking for a way to face Brazil as a team rather than worrying about a single player. Regarding the game against Brazil, Belgium coach Martinez said, 'To win such a match, you have to defend with 11 men. Again, 11 people have to play a role in the attack. We are not talking about playing against them. But I understand well what to do when we have the ball at our feet.'
Taking Brazil as the best, Martinez also said that Brazilian players were born to play such matches. We will also play to win the match. But we cannot expect as much as their footballers and supporters. This is the difference between the two groups.
However, he made it clear that the team's focus is on winning the match and going to the last four. He is not willing to think that his team is less powerful than Brazil in any way. Said, 'Both these teams can score in the match and win. Against Brazil it is not enough to keep the ball at your feet. You have to do the real work with the ball. And that's the real thing in the World Cup. We know what we are capable of in this match. However, Brazil will be the favorite in this match. They pushed us into other roles. The match against Brazil in the quarter final is a dream match for our players.
