"We can't save anything": Lamouchi slams his players after Belgium thrashing

Tunisia's national football coach, Sabri Lamouchi, did not mince words after his team's crushing 0-5 friendly defeat to Belgium. "We can't save anything," Lamouchi stated, visibly marked by the result. He described the performance as "absolutely inadmissible" and confessed that the match offered almost no positive takeaways.

"How can I find positive things when we conceded five goals?" Lamouchi questioned during the press conference following the match at the King Baudouin Stadium. He noted that the only other relief was the absence of further injuries. The coach acknowledged that while the painful match would offer lessons, the team needed to "quickly forget it in terms of performance."

Lamouchi explained that the team's brief period of pressure coincided with planned substitutions, which were disrupted by a red card. "When you are eleven, it's already not easy, but when you are ten against a team like this, it's mission impossible," he said. He apologized to the traveling Tunisian fans, admitting that neither they nor he had anticipated such a poor showing.

Reflecting on his tactical decisions, Lamouchi took responsibility for the overall failure. "All the choices made were not good tonight, whether individual, the substitutions, or the starting lineup," he admitted. He concluded by reiterating his dissatisfaction with the team's performance and demeanor, which fell short of his promise to deliver a better showing.
