Robert Martinez revealed his selection for the double confrontation against Wales and the Netherlands in the Nations League. With two names that surprise in defense: Jason Denayer et Zeno Debast. The first worries observers, when he has still not found a club a few months before the World Cup, while the second shines at the start of the season with Anderlecht. On the set of the Tribune, the consultants gave their opinion on these two summonses.
If he selected the former Lyonnais, the Spanish coach has confirmed that he will not play. A selection that does not include Phillip Albert. “Roberto Martinez contradicts himself and I find it a shame. I would have left him the week alone to find a club. If he finds a club in two or three weeks, he will not be ready for Qatar”.
Words that do not particularly share Nordin Jbari. “I think he takes it precisely to find a club, it’s a gift. It’s more annoying for the other players because the message is not correct. But Martinez has always worked like that, he has his group players. In my opinion, he should play him for twenty minutes to get his rhythm.”.
The new columnist of La Tribune, Marc Wilmotssupports his successor at the head of the Devils. “I understand the reasoning, he has been in the national team for ten years. It will do him good to train with a group and work on the ball. But it will not help him find a club. is a shame for us because he has a lot of experience. I don’t understand why he still hasn’t found an employer”.
As for Debast, should he be included in the group, when the Anderlechtois is only 18 years old? “He’s a very handsome football player, especially since it’s a list of thirty. It may be a little early but I don’t mind”advance Stephan Strecker.
Philippe Albert agrees. “The defense is aging and gifted but this is their last tournament. I hope the next generation will be there. That’s why it has to be included.”
