Duoku: Belgium should not tie the opponent after leading 3-0. Scoring goals in the national team is very important to me

June 10th In the European qualifiers of the World Cup, Belgium defeated Wales 4-3 at home. Belgian striker Doku was interviewed after the game.

Belgium once led 3-0, but was tied by Wales three goals in a row. It was not until the 88th minute that De Bruyne scored the winning goal. This was a wonderful game for the fans, but for us, we made the game so difficult ourselves. When you lead 3-0, you can't let your opponent equalize the score like this. The most important thing after leading 3 goals is to get 3 points. We must analyze what happened during the next team training. Because when the opponent leads 3-0, the opponent should not have a chance to tie. We started well, but the penalty kick before the end of the first half gave hope. After that, they scored some great goals. We have the responsibility to analyze why we lost the ball like this.

You scored a goal in the game. What do you think of your performance?

I passed and assisted the game before, and some games I could score goals, some could not, but I tried to create a threat in every game, send out key passes and strive for goals. Scoring goals in the national team has been difficult for me for a long time, but I also had several assists during this period. It is most important for me to help the team, no matter how it is. If I want to take on leadership responsibilities, I need to score goals, too. I've sent out some key passes and today I scored one, which is important to me.

At the beginning of this game, you were arranged on the right side

I can play on the right side, but everyone knows that I prefer playing on the left side. The coach put me on the right and it worked very well. Sometimes, when we are going well, he might keep placing me on the right. However, I'm very happy as long as I can play.
