Former player NGUYEN TUAN PHONG: Belgium lost because Lukaku was unlucky!

Even the Belgian team had the ball in Slovakia's net twice but were both denied by VAR. It can be said that one of the reasons the Belgian team lost to Slovakia was because Lukaku was too unlucky. This 31-year-old star is one of the top strikers in Serie A and world football. In the qualifying round, he scored regularly and still chose good positions.

Lukaku is an indispensable link in the Belgian team's framework. He is strong and a good wall-keeper. Against Slovakia, the number 10 striker performed well in everything - from moving to choosing a tactical position. However, the only thing is that Lukaku did not score.

Notably, Italian coach Francesco Calzona created a very annoying defensive style for Slovakia. They competed very effectively in the midfield area, making it difficult for Belgium to launch attacks.

Slovakia have nullified Kevin De Bruyne's role as a playmaker. It should also be added that the two central midfielders of Belgium, although physically strong, lack creativity and their passes are often inaccurate.

In the upcoming match, Belgium needs to make changes. Tielemans is a possible choice to help the midfield have more creativity, helping to better connect with the front line. Coach Domenico Tedesco needs to boldly replace Trossard to create more danger for the attack. Because Doku combined with Kevin De Bruyne will certainly create high efficiency, because both of them were so compatible when wearing the Man City shirt.
