During Martínez's term of office
the national team
Belgium ruled the FIFA world rankings most of the time until this year when it was finally snatched up by Brazil, and it seems to be slowly hinting that perhaps Belgium really must race against time.
Talent pool, Belgium is also will pour the whole country's efforts, can choose all selected, and even the injury has just come back to Doku, the state of the unknown Lukaku are selected into the, really can see Belgium has been forced on the starting point, everything is waiting for the gun to sound.

Undefeated in the WCC with 6 wins and 2 draws
advancement
final round, and even in last year's
League of Europe
Playing to the last 4 before losing to France, Belgium is still very strong. However, in this year's
League of Europe
No goals against Holland twice. Such a form is also a cause for concern
This year, Belgium is in the same group with Canada, Morocco and Croatia, and they are still the favorites to win the first place in the group in terms of book strength, and this year, Belgium has to fight for the first place in the group, because this may be the last chance for them to win a world-class trophy in their golden generation.
Since the talented goalkeeper Courtois took over, Belgium's goalkeeper hasn't had too many changes, and Courtois' performance is indeed quite stable. Although he can't win the battle against Courtois, Mignolet is also quite competent at the bench. The ability of the goalkeeper has never been a concern for Belgium.
Although he only came 7th in the Ballon d'Or, Courtois was finally recognized with the Yassin Award for his outstanding performance last season. Although he has missed some games this season due to injuries, it didn't stop Courtois from chasing the title of best goalkeeper, not forgetting that he was the best player in the last World Cup!
Courtois, who is a man of great strength, utilizes his incredible height to make many incredible saves. This year still has 80% of the success rate of the save, more terrible is the face to the success rate of the penalty kick save, Courtois also has a high 43% of the success rate of the save, to break down the door of Belgium is afraid that it is not so easy.
Apart from the character issue that needs to be taken care of, Courtois is indeed a saint-like performance on the field. With Belgium's "two old men" slowly deteriorating again, Courtois will definitely need to face more shots on goal, and his performance will directly affect the stability of Belgium's backline defense.
After a year of adjustment, Mignolet, who has had steady playing time, has indeed slowly regained his former world-class skills, and despite being 34 years old, he is still quite solid in close-range saves and judgment.
In this season still has an average of 5.4 saves, the success rate is actually as high as 80%, but also let Mignolet in the game on the zero blocked rate came to 63% is the top goalkeeper than the first, and not only on the ability to defend, passing Mignolet also still has a good performance, average 53.1% of the success rate of long passes is also than the first, or even Europe's top. This year, he faced Atletico Madrid in the
European crown
of life and death with a number of great saves, and even led Bruges to their first ever
European crown
semifinals
This year's Mignolet is slowly returning to his peak in terms of form.
