Gil Swerts is preparing Jong België for a crucial period in their European Championship qualifying campaign. The team, led by Swerts, a former Eredivisie defender, is currently top of Group I with 10 points. However, they face a tough challenge in the coming weeks, with matches against Wit-Rusland, Wales and Denemarken.
Swerts will have to do without injured striker Lucas Stassin, who has been ruled out due to a injury. Despite this setback, the coach is confident in his team's abilities, citing the talents of players such as PSV's Noah Fernandez, Arthur Vermeeren, Nathan De Cat, Romeo Vermant, Lucca Brughmans, Samuel Mbangula and Julien Duranville.
Jong België's next games are against Wit-Rusland, Wales and Denemarken. Swerts is aware of the challenges ahead, describing Wit-Rusland as a "stugge tegenstander" who plays on the counter. He wants his team to win their upcoming matches against Wit-Rusland and Wales, so they can approach their final game against Denemarken with the right mindset.
The stakes are high for Jong België, as they aim to secure a spot in the European Championship. With a good contact with the new technical staff of the Belgian national team, Swerts is well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
