Coach Browaeys before departure to european CHAMPIONSHIP U17 in Ireland: Dreaming of gold medal

Red Devils Friday is the day for the Belgian U17. Then they start to their european CHAMPIONSHIPS in Ireland. Coach Bob Browaeys is for departure is already hopeful: “The boys have sense in it. They are mentally ready to get as far as possible, to get.”

Browaeys aims with his twintigkoppige selection initially on a place in the quarter-finals, in which his players of the group stage need to survive: “We allowed our opponents should not be underestimated. I think that our opening match against the Czech republic, the most difficult will be: they combine physically with the efficient football. But of course, we also take into account Greece and Ireland, the two other opponents. As host, you can always learn something more, so also the Irish will be a tough customer. When we group survive and, therefore, our semi-final win, we had a ticket bite for the world cup in Brazil, in October of this year. That is unique. But we look at it step by step, feet on the ground.”

the focus of the players will certainly not lie: “That is top. It is the first time that they have a european CHAMPIONSHIP to play, so they have to make sense. After our perfect preparation (9 on 9 in both the qualification - if the eliteronde, ed.) want this group to take the next step at the european CHAMPIONSHIPS.” Is that, after the semi-final of last year, then the victory? “Dreams of a European title in may, but you are nothing with a European title in the U17 if no one from this team flows through to the A-team. I notice that this group is striking adult deals with our participation in the european CHAMPIONSHIPS. The players are confident, mentally are they ready to get as far as possible, to get.”
