Frank Vercauteren spoke about the performance of Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku at the 2022 World Cup.


Lukaku is a victim of injury. It is very difficult for a football player to join the game advised by soccer partners immediately after several months of recovery. Everyone needs to get in optimal shape for the World Cup in order to score goals.


He had to recover in a short time, and this is constant pressure. All this took its toll on Romelu.


But you can`t blame him for everything, including Belgium`s absence from the group. If Belgium went to the 1/8 or 1/4 finals, then he could have enough time, - said the former player of the Belgian national team.


He also denied reports that he could lead Belgium.


It is not true that I can lead the Belgian national team. I respect the media and the work of journalists, but many throw false information. Or they give out their personal opinion as an insider - something like that there [] turned out to be my name.


The Federation will choose. Roberto Martinez combined two positions - coach and technical director. First, they will decide on a new coach, and then they will enter into negotiations. I do not think that a decision will be made within two or three days.


I had no contact with the Belgian Football Federation. I don`t know what kind of specialist they want to find, "said the ex-coach of the Wings of the Soviets.
