Courtois: I am very disappointed with the draw in the last game and want to play the game against Wales as a final

In the European World Cup qualifiers tomorrow morning, Belgium will challenge Wales away from home. Belgium goalkeeper Courtois was interviewed before the game.

This is the 11th meeting between the two teams since September 2012. In the past, Wales had superstars like Bell, but now Wales mainly relies on long passes to find high center Kiefer Moore, who is nearly 2 meters tall. Courtois first said: "When you have a superstar (Bale) in your team, the game will revolve more around him. Now I think Wales will no longer sit back as far back in defense as they did in the past. Their current tactics prefer to press high and look for the space between the defender and the midfielder."

Courtois continued: "Harry Wilson is a player who can send the final pass, and Kiefer Moore can create threats in the penalty area. So Wales has some options and is a difficult team to deal with." In the World Cup qualifiers in June this year, Belgium defeated Wales 4-3 at home.

Belgium drew 0-0 with North Macedonia at home in the last round of World Cup qualifying. Belgium currently ranks second in the group with 11 points, 1 point behind North Macedonia, but Belgium has one game less. Courtois said: "We are disappointed with the result of the last game, but we still maintain a good mentality."

Courtois then talked about the strength of the Belgian national team: "Our forwards are full of confidence. We have an excellent team and will work hard to win. Tate and Debast are among them. The defender position performed well, but our defense has not been really tested before when we faced Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, and Kazakhstan, and this next game is a good test."

Belgium only needs to win the last three rounds of World Cup qualifying to ensure first place in the group. Finally, Courtois said: "We hope to participate in the World Cup, and we don't need to consider various possibilities now. We must play this game as a final."
