What is the Most Expected Squad for Belgium in the FIFA World Cup 2022?
The Football World Cup lights a flame of pleasure, enthusiasm, compassion, and sportsmanship regardless of the terminology, dialects, cultures, traditions, or nation you are from. This competition motivates countless people worldwide. We all like the exhilaration and excitement of pulling an all-nighter to watch the top football players in the world physically battle tooth and claw to elevate their national dominance in the sport.
FIFA, the Federation Internationale de Football Association, voted in favour of Qatar in 2010 to host one of the most iconic and thrilling events. Be warned readers as we discuss and analyze the frightening roster for the Belgian national team, which includes 13 of Europe's top players. The so-called Dark Horse in the 2018 FIFA World Cup was Belgium.
Roberto Martinez the 49-year-old Spanish national is taking all his time as the manager in carefully preparing a brilliant squad. The 2018 World Cup has shown the whole world how lethal and challenging the whole Belgian squad can be thus providing a diverse list of world-class players. A few months are left until the full official Belgian national squad announcement. Here we are to gather our knowledge and analyze the probable lineup for the Belgian team to be played in the tournament. Without further ado let’s football!
Some of them will surely feature at the Euro 2024, but Qatar 2022 will give the fans a last glance at a squad featuring Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois, Jan Vertonghen, Dries Mertens, Axel Witsel and Toby Alderweild in the same squad.
Beyond those names, Yannick Carrasco, Thomas Meunier and Youri Tielemans have been regulars throughout the Martinez era and will expect to have seats on the plane to Doha.
Among Martinez’s preferred formations 3-4-3 shows his tactical brilliance as a world-class manager. The abundant options with talents prove to be quite useful not only because of its abundance in numbers but also because it’s in talents to play in different roles. A list of options is provided below to better understand the squad depth:-
Goalkeepers:-
Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid)
Koen Casteels (Wolfsburg)
Thomas Kaminski (Blackburn Rovers)
Matz Sels (Racing Strasbourg)
Defenders:-
Toby Alderweireld (Al Duhail)
Dedryck Boyota (Hertha Berlin)
Timothy Castagne (Leicester City)
Hannes Delcroix (Anderlecht)
Jason Denayer (Olympique Lyonnais)
Brandon Mechele (Club Brugge)
Thomas Meunier (Borussia Dortmund)
Zinho Venheusden (Genoa)
Jan Vertonghen (Benfica)
Midfielders:-
Charles De Ketelaere (Club Brugge)
Leander Dendoncker (Wolverhampton)
Thomas Foket (Stade Reims)
Eden Hazard (Real Madrid)
Thorgen Hazard (Borussia Dortmund)

Yannick Carrasco (Athletico Madrid)
Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)
Dodi Lukebakio (Hertha Berlin)

So, keeping in mind the favourite formation of Roberto Martinez, 3-4-3 Belgium looks like this:
E. Hazard R. Lukaku D. Mertens
T. Hazard Y. Carrasco
K. De Bryune Y. Tielemans
Vertonghen Anderweild Denayer
T. Courtois
Although there can be many differences Martinez can line up his squad after he officially chooses the 26 men to represent the Belgian national team. The upcoming Nation League fixtures a few months ahead will help him select players who he wants on the flight to Qatar. We tried to create one of the best line-ups that surely have the potential to stress out managers all around. This defensively solid as-rock lineup along with some tactically creative and powerful frontline will surely be a challenge and provide brilliant competitiveness.
