Despite his good performances under the colors of Anderlecht in recent weeks, Thorgan Hazard will not be part of the selection Domenico Tedesco who will meet with Serbia and Azerbaijan next week.
The national coach is delighted with the return to form of the former Borussia Dortmund winger, but the thirty-year-old must face extraordinary competition on the flanks with the Devils…
“I am very happy to see him playing at a good level once more following a difficult season, revealed Domenico Tedesco following revealing his selection at a press conference this Friday noon. We follow his performances, obviously. But the question is: who to remove from the team to make room for him on a flank? For me, it’s complicated to imagine depriving myself of Jérémy Doku, Yannick Carrasco, Johan Bakayoko, Dodi Lukebakio… The competition is tough in this position! And behind it, there is still Mike Trésor, Michel-Ange Balikwisha who is doing a good job at Antwerp and in the Champions League… The list of players available in this position is very long!“
And at the position of N.10, even in the absence of Kevin De Bruynethe candidates likely to evolve in this position are, once more, very numerous, which does not work in favor of Thorgan Hazard, who has never been taken over by Domenico Tedesco and whose last of his 47 team appearances nationally dates back to the World Cup in Qatar.
“Why not imagine it, but we already have to play with a No.10, and there too, the list of players who can play in this position is very long! continues the national coach. Charles De Ketelaere, Leandro Trossard, Kevin De Bruyne, Youri Tielemans – especially if we play with two N.8s -, Arthur Vermeeren… It’s easy to say that such a player deserves a selection, and it’s true in the case of Thorgan Hazard, but we have to look for 20 outfield players, because at the Euro, we can only take 20, it’s not easy.“
