Belgium's coach Rudi Garcia acknowledged shortcomings in his team after a disappointing 1-1 draw with North Macedonia in their World Cup qualifying opener. Despite leading the match, Belgium failed to maintain the advantage, highlighting defensive issues and poor decision-making. Garcia emphasized the need for trust among defenders and acknowledged the team's quality while discussing strategic substitutions made to prepare for their next match against Wales. He reiterated that changing tactics was unnecessary to address performance concerns.
"We didn't play well. There are many explanations for this. If you are 1-0 up, you can't give it up."
"It's a matter of trust. Our defenders need that. I also don't want to point too much at the defence. We also have to be able to bring more offensively."
