Wales and Belgium face off in the second Quarter Finals of Euro 2016 , the game will be expected to be a blockbuster considering the form both teams are in. Wales will rely on the services of their talismanic winger Gareth Bale, while Belgium have a handful of talent to choose from Here are 5 players to watch out in Wales vs Belgium
1) Gareth Bale
The welsh Winger has been a revelation in this years Championship and was involved in all of Wales’s good work so far. Bale has scored 3 goals and is the joint top scorer , Belgian defense will have to contain Bale and they the loss of Jan Vertonghen will surely be a headache for Marc Wilmots who will now have to cope with Bale without one of his best defenders.
2) Eden Hazard
Hazard had a really poor season with Chelsea last year. He was nowhere near his usual during the entire season but now the Belgian Captain seems to have returned to his best. He assisted 3 of 4 goals against Hungary and scored a brilliant solo goal. He is definitely going to be involved in any Belgium goal tonight.
3) Kevin De Bruyne
The Man City star was in brilliant form against hungary and showed his attacking abilities with 7 attempts on goal. He is one of the most creative players in the Belgian side and it will be a tough task for Wales to keep him quiet. His link up play with Hazard can make the difference in the game.
4) Aaron Ramsey
Ramsey is Wales’s governor general in the midfield. He controls the games , pulling the strings for his attackers. He along with Bale has been the best performer for Wales in their successful campaign so far. Keeping Ramsey quiet will be a tough task and Wilmots may employ Moussa Dembele or Marouane Fellaini for the same.
5) Romelu Lukaku
The everton striker was criticized for his form coming into the tournament and after his performance against Italy , those voices were raised again. He silenced his critics with two brilliant goals vs Republic of Ireland. Lukaku is Belgium’s most deadly striker on paper and Ashley Williams will face a tough evening marking him.
