Tactical analysis: Belgium - Senegal: Belgium overcame with difficulty
Belgium beat Senegal 3-2 in extra time despite poor form. Coach Rudi Garcia's tactical changes are analyzed.


Belgium overcame Senegal in extra time with a score of 3-2. This was a match where Belgium faced many difficulties, Senegal took advantage of their opportunities well, but Belgium had a fierce attack at the end of the match to win. Coach Rudi Garcia, after unfavorable opening matches, decided to change details in the strategy. The coach of the Belgian team has applied a special tactic in attack since the defeats against Egypt and Iran. In particular, the return of Jérémy Doku also helped the team a lot. Garcia began applying this strategy in the match against New Zealand. While previously the Belgian coach made the bold decision to play Thomas Meunier inside and leave right-winger Alexis Saelemaekers out, he now allows his wingers to move freely. Starting the match, Doku played on the right wing, but quickly showed that he had the freedom to do what he wanted. He even moved to the left several times to support Leandro Trossard, causing Belgium to essentially play with two players on the left flank.
