Wilmots interview after Belgium's 0-2 loss to Italy

On Thibaut Courtois, who directly after the match said that Belgium was tactically outclassed:

"A keeper is always nervous after conceding twice. He was a bit frustrated. I asked him if he found their plan - defend with 10 men - tactically sound. 'I did not mean it that way',said Thibaut. Flashinterviews directly after the game are never good."

On the criticism in the international press:

"The international press have been praising us for the past four years. I was trainer then as well. Saying after one match that we are no longer good is too easy."

On the game yesterday:

"A draw had been merited. But mostly I missed grinta (heart) in the team. We have good players but I ask agressiveness. We are still a young team, but if we think everything will be given to us..."

On the criticism on his tactics:

"I laugh at the criticism on my tactics. Look at the first 30 minutes: thanks to our pressing it was impossible for Italy to press the attack. But one long ball caused us problems."
