In a thrilling battle, Belgium beat Romania with a 2-0 record, retaining a glimmer of hope for advancement. The outstanding performance of the central midfielder, Chiyun Dibny, was like a reappearance of the Ballon d'Or. His seven key statistics led the whole game, and one could not help but marvel at the passionate outburst of the 33-year-old veteran. Such a performance is undoubtedly the best proof of the efficiency of the whole team system operation.
Chiyundibuni was nearly impeccable in this performance. According to OPTA data, he was involved in 5 attacks, 3 successful, 17 confrontations, 4 reversals of the opponent, 3 successful long passes, 23 attacks in the three zones, 4 steals and 4 fouls, leading the stat sheet across the board. At the end of the tournament, UEFA will also present him with the Best Player Award in recognition of his outstanding performance and key role in the tournament.
Aside from his statistical domination, Chiyundibuni's passion was equally infectious. Only 18 minutes into the first half, he launched an attack from midfield and managed to break through to the top of the box, forcing a mistake from his opponent Luke Baggio. Such a performance was reminiscent of the peak performance of Mays back in the day. In 80 minutes, he managed to break through the defense thanks to a precise long pass from goalkeeper Kasdils, and even showed signs of being a better winger than Lukaku.
The usually calm Chiyundibuni celebrated emotionally after scoring the goal, which demonstrated his commitment to the game. After the game, he said he has no intention of quitting the national team and confidently stated that his fighting spirit is still high.
