Recently in the article "Back in USSR " I enjoy the last of our friendly Devils to an overview of the demographic group. Today, I push the analysis further in the same vein.
booster shots. This Nov. 17, Leekens lined Jean-Francois Gillet (31), Kompany (24), Van Buyten (32), Vertonghen (23), Ciman (25), Simons (33), Defour (22), Fellaini (23) , Hazard (19), Dembele (23) and Romelu (17). I will not return to the youth of our team and his lack of experience, but I would still like to bring another spotlight on this group. We can very clearly divided into two subgroups: the Olympics and briscards. On the one hand, therefore, the generation of youngsters Pekingese, and our three other thirtysomethings. So far, nothing unusual you might say. Except that the fans will understand the unique geography of the age of the team. She has a big hole in the middle. In other words, it is split into two separate parts, because none of the protagonists has between 26 and 30.
This originality was not a vague interest in statistics. On the ground, that means a whole generation that was not there that day. When we know that, generally speaking, an athlete is in top physical shape during the same period 25-30 years, one can conclude that, in theory, we were deprived of our very lifeblood ... .
Perhaps is it is a random point and the result of a combination of circumstances? Audit. To fill the bench and fill in the group that day, opted for MacTheKnife Alderweireld, Legear, Lombaerts Mignolet, Mirallas, Odidja, Ogunjimi, Vossen, Pocognoli, Proto, Vleminckx and Witsel. With its 27 years, Silvio Proto is therefore the only representative of this generation in the whole group! And without offending his talent, with only 12 selections to the counter, Silvio has, for now, played the runners up, and owes his selection to the poor form of Logan Bailly.
Maybe we deprive ourselves by choice or fear of injury of several elements to this friendly without issue? Audit. With a click, I footbel.be parachute on for a list of international business (+ - 80 players). In my nets, I found 22 players with the vital age between 26 and 30 years . Barely 25% of all Red Devils in business. Forgetting the players who made appearances anecdotal (less than 10 Caps), there are no longer than twelve Devils! Schiterrend, hey!
Here, the lost generation of the 4-3-3 Red Devils: Proto (or Stijnen) between the posts in defense and from left to right Deschacht, Vandamme, Swerts, Gillet. In the midfield, and Geraerts Mundingayi form the base of the triangle, Thomas Buffel to the top of the triangle feed the attackers: Vandenbergh, Pieroni, and Huysegems. Of course, this selection is purely speculative. But still. This is a generation that failed to take the lead in the national team between 2002 and 2010. And it is also, probably in the 4-3-3 where we need find the reasons for the successive failures of our fellows in the same period.
