Domenico Tedesco is facing a fight to remain as Belgium manager and if the treatment he’s received from players at Chelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa is anything to go by, it’s a fight he won’t win.
That’s at least according to Het Laatste Nieuws, via Voetbal 24, who cover the likes of Romeo Lavia, Kevin de Bruyne and Youri Tielemans today and the ‘complete ridicule’ they’ve bestowed on the Belgian boss.
The newspaper explains that the absence of several Red Devils in the last international break caused frustration for Domenico Tedesco, who had to make do with what he had and ultimately lost 1-0 to Israel.
He lost the likes of Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa, Kevin de Bruyne from Manchester City and Romeo Lavia at from Chelsea, among others, for the game, with all of them departing due to injuries.
Except, right after the international break, all of the supposed injured players were back playing for their club sides.
HLN have composed a list, explaining how De Bruyne skipped the entire international break but was a brief substitute for Manchester City against Tottenham, while Tielemans manager 90 minutes in Aston Villa’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
Lavia, meanwhile, was supposed to be struggling with a hamstring problem but came on as a substitute in Chelsea’s win over Leicester City.
The likes of Romelu Lukaku, Athur Theate and Charles de Ketelaere all featured for their sides too despite dropping out.
That’s a ‘complete ridicule’ for the Belgian boss, whose big players all appear to have voted with their feet in this international break and shown they’re not with Tedesco.
