The head coach of the Belgium national team, Rudy Garcia, commented on the course of events in the first playoff match of the Nations League against Ukraine, which ended with a score of 3-1 in favor of Ukraine.

"You can always concede a goal, but to let the opponent take over after that is unacceptable. We were psychologically too weak. There was simply no longer any of us on the field...

Now we are going to analyze this and draw up a plan for what we need to work on. We have to clearly see where we fell short.

This is a lesson for De Winter, although the pass he received before the mistake was not very comfortable. But that doesn't mean the whole team suddenly collapsed and disappeared from the match. Ukraine looked fresher than us after the score became equal. So we will carefully analyze the physical condition of our players.

We lost by two goals, but are eager to rectify the situation and win the tie over the aggregate score," — Garcia stated.

It should be noted that the return match between Belgium and Ukraine will take place on March 23 in Genk at the Cegeka Arena.
