They may not have thought they were still in contention for the quarter-finals, but Ives Serneels’ side are only 90 minutes away from a historic performance. If the Red Flames do not have their destiny in their hands, “all it takes” is a victory once morest Italy and a logical success or draw for France once morest Iceland to continue their journey.
“If we play with the same intensity as once morest France, it will pass. We are evolving, we are forming a unit and we must build on this basis” says Tine De Cagne.
On paper, Italy is more experienced. Above all, victory is imperative for the Italians, surprised by Iceland in the last game. “Italy are getting closer to our style of play. They are a very aggressive team with a lot of quality and skill,” assure Laura De Neve.
