Castagne, who plays for Fulham and wears the captain’s armband, attended Belgium’s pre-match press conference. He stated that despite many injuries in the team, they will still give their all.
Castagne expressed his honor at being appointed captain: “I hope I can repay the coach’s trust. Whether or not I am the captain, I try to use my experience to help the younger players. With the captain’s armband, I must communicate more deeply with the players.”
“I hope we can win this match. We have had some difficulty winning recently, and we need to get back on track. There are many injuries, but complaining won’t help. We don’t want to risk the players’ health either. We are a team, and we can face this together.”
After losing to Italy, there were reports that Castagne had complained. He clarified: “We discussed it privately, and there may have been some misunderstandings. I did not question the tactics.”
