Marc Wilmots is rather as a motivator of mine, more than a tactician. “That perception is sent since I have been at STVV. And it was constantly repeated by people with bad intentions. By that to continue to repeat, are the people that believe. I do not think that we with the national team so far would have been, if I'm not a good tactician. We have played against the greatest trainers and we have them even reports. There was a clear vision – one way of playing, which is not out of the nothing came. The problem was that I was not shared with the media. Why would I be? The results were there. We have done what we have done. Tactics is find alternatives for problems that may arise. But at a club you have more time for it to grind.”
That Wilmots is a big fan of Axel Witsel, is a public secret. It was ‘das Kampfschwein’ who Whitewash a row of lower posted in the national team. “I needed someone that the brain of the team. I'm talking about the 2014. When I Witsel only on the 6 put, was that since I was the opponent with two numbers of 10 or with two eights wanted to pin. I found that the best way to get a tactical culture. And Witsel can ignore for the team. He is trained as a number 10 and I needed someone who is very intelligent. I let him understand that if he the level of Barcelona wanted to achieve - he's at that position, the highest return would get. That is my vision. Others have a different idea, but the career of Axel is, however, developed favourably.”
For @WilmotsMarc is @axelwitsel28 the best as number 6.
