The Belgium national football team has had a tough time in recent years, and its former coach Roberto Martinez is currently under pressure for his work with Portugal. Peter Schmeichel, a consultant for Danish national television, said that Martinez is 'one of the most disappointing coaches in this World Cup' and that 'he ruined the golden generation of Belgium'. Christophe Dugarry, 1998 World Cup winner, shares the same opinion, stating that Martinez 'sank Belgium with its golden generation' and that he is 'doing the same with Portugal'. But are these criticisms justified? Martinez achieved the best result in Belgian history in 2018, with a third-place finish. He also transformed Belgium into a major force in world football under his leadership. However, Portugal's recent results have been mixed, and Martinez is accused of playing too conservative football. Portugal has more depth than Belgium to make changes, with players like Gonçalo Ramos who won the Champions League final with PSG. The difference is huge between the two teams. The pundits believe that the game played by the Seleçao is not in line with the offensive potential of the players present. Martinez must therefore find a way to respond to these criticisms and improve his team. Martinez has a lot of work to do to prove his critics wrong and lead Portugal to success. With the right tactics and player selection, Portugal can still achieve great things in the tournament. Only time will tell if Martinez can turn things around and lead his team to victory.
