Belgium’s head coach Rudy Garcia reflected on his team’s goalless draw against Iran in the second group stage match of the World Cup. The game ended 0-0, with the Red Devils forced to finish the match a man down following Nathan Ngoy’s red card in the 66th minute. Despite not having secured a win yet and accumulating just two points, the French coach remains optimistic ahead of the decisive fixture.
Garcia provided a detailed analysis of his team’s performance:
“We lacked efficiency. We controlled the ball for 70 percent of the match, took numerous shots and delivered many crosses, but created few clear chances on goal. Our start to the World Cup has been like a diesel engine warming up. Some players appeared tentative, but those who came off the bench injected energy into the team. Playing with ten men for the last half hour drained a lot of strength, but we stayed resilient. I believe in this squad. We will beat New Zealand, earn five points, and advance from the group.”
