Belgium national football team

He does have ambitions to play in a different league, in the Premier League, being his main objective, and I think that's the same for quite a lot of players.

and but he did have a lot of good things to say about the club and indeed derrick mckinnis i had i think the journalists were looking to get as much of him as they could to get a clip to see where his head was at but i thought i thought he managed the questions pretty well and ultimately said look i'm i'm happy here i'm settled here and um the manager um working alongside the manager and the relationship he's got with the manager has been very good he says he owes rangers a lot for the fact that it helped him make that move into international football, obviously getting his start for Belgium and then obviously going to the World Cup with Belgium.

He obviously said that there was...

there was rumours and noises during the window but nothing that suited all parties and they decided to stay here and I suppose it brought up a question for me as well as his finishing quote as we want to win all trophies one trophy isn't good enough or along those lines which I thought that's pretty good I'll take that Nico thanks for that it was a nice way to finish that presser But it got me thinking.

I could be wrong there, but I think it was Chelsea.

And I remember back then I said, well, you need to go and prove it.

I think getting into the Belgium team has been a big thing for Raskin which shows coming to teams like Rangers that you can be recognised by big international teams like Belgium and he's a starter there so being at Rangers hasn't stopped him getting to that where he wants to be with his national team which is good for us good for bringing players in as well too but Yeah, he's a guy who ultimately wants to leave Rangers to go to a bigger league, not a bigger club, but a bigger league.

And I think a lot of players will look at Rangers that in terms of a step stone to a bigger league.

No, but, but, but not for, but, but not for the, for, for, for, uh, PSG.

I mean, I like what I saw when I was watching him play for, um, what was it? Belgium in the, the Champion, uh, the Nations League thing.

The world, uh, Nations League, yeah.

I mean, he's all of...

Yeah, he's like, you know, it's like he's like a very dynamics of the player.

And I mean, look, there for PSG, he plays out on the wing, and then for, for, for Belgium, I, I believe, either Belgium or Holland, I'm one of, I'm, but I think it's Belgium.

But he plays actually down the middle at times or he plays just behind the striker, and I mean, he is lethal, like, when he plays.

It's like, yeah, I, I actually find-

Yeah, thanks for having me once again.

Uh, very delighted to talk about Belgian football.

Yeah.

I'm always delighted to have you on because it feels like we're just kind of rattling through a list of potential wonder kids.

... starting in the World Cup as he, as he did.

Obviously we know that that game against Belgium wasn't particularly great for him, but he played so well in the other matches.

And still, and to be honest, just to get that moment of playing at a home World Cup was, was massive.

Mm.

Um, Iwobi and Bassey both played, uh, for Nigeria.

I think actually Iwobi did get an assist in, in one of them.

Castagne, um, played pretty much all the minutes in, uh, in Belgium's Nations League games.

Uh, Josh King, uh, played particularly well in a 4-2 win for England under 21s, in a 4-2 win over Kazakhstan.

Even though it's not him at his best, I still wanna see Ronaldo play.

And when I w- when I wanna watch Nations League and I see Portugal playing against Norway, or I see another game which is Belgium versus France, Belgium versus France seems a lot bigger, but for me, I'd rather see Ronaldo play.

Mm.

And when he's not playing, I don't watch that game.

the third Hazard played for-

I'm sure they played under

... for Belgium?
