I know i know.... our team isn't great, but we are improving, and no... we don't have many players playing for big clubs yet...
Arsenal is interested in valgaeren
Monaco got Leonard
AC milan wanted Bassegio
champions Sporting lisabon got mpenza (keeper de Wilde's former club
Parma got Walem
Aston villa get nilis (english clubs are good)
and off course, former uefa cup champions Schalke 04 got Wilmots, van kerchhoven and Mpenza's brother
Our last friendly matches ended in draws, 5-5 and 2-2. Against Holland we always seem to have extra power, but we lack phisical condition. the first half of the match we played fantastic, in both matches, but in the second half we seem to get too tired from chasing the ball in the first half. If we improve our physical condition, we'll beat them again, just like in wc'94.
Ever since Wasseige took over as choach, our style is based more on atack. In defence we got wings, just like in midfield. Our midfield is sollid with vanderhaeghe as defencive midfielder, with wilmots as atacking centre midfielder and the 2 wingers Goor and Verheyen.
We are ok in defence too, with Staelens and Valgaeren as pure defenders, and 2 wingers Leonard and Deflandre, to help atack.
I admit our keeper isnt great.. but he is good. De wilde is a keeper with a lot of experience, and he still is fast enough to make some important saves during euro2k
