Beijing. August 22. Brazil won the bronze medal in the Olympics. Pekingese defeated in the table was a selection out of any bid to reach the semifinals. A selection that to reach the semi-finals had been taken to get rid of the powerful Italy. It was Belgium. Not be called more than 3 players over 23 years had brought to light a generation of Belgian players out of the ordinary. A generation with a lot of interesting names in the midfield and defense, which nevertheless, had not shown their full potential and to today's big names stayed Belgian out of the Olympics.
After this championship summer began again the usual classifications stages the World Cup or European Championship in turn. Belgium, framed in a relatively affordable to fight for the classification, pulled as the third favorite of the group. In front of her two selections had a lot weight: The current champion of Europe (Spain) and semifinalist (Turkey). Were behind a leathery Bosnia and 2 selections from very low profile as Estonia and Armenia. Rene Vandereycken's men were condemned to third place ... but only 4 games in Belgium has taken this to ignore the predictions. March third group, but with the party of Turkey Turkish field played (tie) and the Belgian stronghold of Spain played well (loss). Right now is the favorite to reach the playoffs, as the direct classification is, in the absence of 6 days (...), secured for Spain. The Belgians have taken up the legacy he left his team after the Olympics. Veteranisimos supported by players and not lacking in quality and Simmons, Sonko and Van Buyten, Belgian new generation gap Habre rapidly. The goal: Mudial Cup 2010, its first significant meeting in 8 years after the World Cup in Korea. Today I speak for many of these young people who probably are in the team who will fight for something more than a dignified position in South Africa ... always be classified.
Logan Bailly (12/27/1985): Porter, 22, from the Genk. Bailly (190 cm/84kg) was the Belgian goalkeeper for the Olympic Games. This is a very agile goalkeeper and boasts a high-speed , despite measuring 1.90. Furthermore, this height makes him a safe aerial balls and shooting high. Perhaps the players who I will mention is the least trusted generates me about hypothetical inclusion in the World list. And if you do may not be as a starter. I say this because Logan is an inexperienced goalkeeper, as the Belgian league (despite his new swing) League is not a high level. And his little experience you can see in his game. It is a very crazy goalkeeper and always looking to show off, plus no insurance is not one-on-one. Is fortunate that there are few quality goalkeepers in Belgium: Two Belgian goalkeeper Stijnen are , which is not out of any series, and Silvio Proto , goalkeeper in relative decline that promised a lot in its infancy with Anderlecht. If Bailly mature in his game is surely in the call, another thing is that it is the goalkeeper. 
Jan Vertonghen (04/24/1987): Central of 21 who currently campaigning Ajax Amsterdam. Vertonghen (189cm/78) is a common defense in the alignments of Van Basten's Dutch team with the winner, despite his youth, and also common in the Belgian team. Jan is a central versatile lefty ninguún adapts to left-back problem and even the midfield as a defensive midfielder. We are facing a player who made an enormous consistency in defending both their regular equipment and internationally. While not a pure defense and tough, this is a good defender but stresses a lot more with the ball on the foot, giving the ball out very many to your computer. It also has a prodigious height making it have an air game out-standing. Despite its retarded position, easily misses a ball golepo explendido, especially with the spherical standing where he is a great specialist. Of the three positions where it develops naturally from perhaps the side that suffers most due to low speed. In my opinion, the best of Belgium and Ajax, and has 21 years ... 
Thomas Vermaelen (11/14/1985): Central of 22 who belongs to Ajax Amsterdam. Defense (180cm/72kg) holder in both the selection and in the Dutch team is the regular partner of Vertonghen in the center of the defense of Ajax and often in the Belgian selection. If Jan brings the ball out, quality, ultimately, the most attractive in the plot defense, Thomas is quite the opposite. The defense is pure, focused on their work and give the ball back. None of complications. And therein resides its importance in the teams playing. defense is a very safe and always looking for the easiest . Not a flashy player, no offensive game boasts some (if that's any air in a corner shot) and its output is no wonder ball. But security, experience (despite his 22 years) and how well it complements Vertoghen make it a safe bet on both teams. Nor is a fast player, but not slow but replaces it with willingness and a lot guts and strength. Also without excessive height has a very good passing game. 
Vincent Kompany (04/10/1986): Central of 22 years recently signed by the petrodollars of Manchester City. Although its only 22 springtime, this defense (190cm/82kg) is already a eminence in the world of football . After starting out at Anderlecht and there were few big teams who had not knocked on his door. Finally was the Hamburg who would for their services in 2006/07, a smart move to keep growing by Vincent. After a first season where he spent practically unheard of, came that of his consecration and juice in 2007/08 to a high standard. This season took a qualitative leap towards the Premiership, signing for City. Despite being central position where they evolved naturally, in the HSV was uncovered as a very good defensive midfielder , position to avoid missing qualities. And is that Kompany is a very complete player . Vertonghen improvement in virtually all aspects of offensive play (maybe Jan is better in the air and set pieces) and is significantly better than this in the game defensively. It is also a fast player and that adds much to the attack without neglecting the defense. In short, the most complete player in the Belgian and a future world-class crack. 
Sebastien Pocognoli (01/08/1987): Lefty Side of 21 years from the Az Alkmaar. Despite his youth is a permanent fixture in the AZ. Sebastien (181cm/74kg) has never been a full international , but surely if Belgium is present in the World Cup, Sebastien will be part of the 23, and even of the 11 starting in the later games. Was released internationally this summer, being the most prominent in the Olympics for his country. We are facing a side that likes a lot to raise the band to focus with great precision, all supported by an enviable speed and good dribbling, including also a very refined technique. It has all the qualities to act as an end but the AZ side uses it as offensive because of the tendency of the Dutch league. Still not as bad defender as paint, and that supplies their defensive deficiencies with a willingness and a lot fight. After these Olympics a lot of teams interested in him, but decided to stay in AZ for further growth. Test will not last long in the honey of victory with the absolute. 
Anthony Vanden Borre (24/10/1987): Lateral right 20 years acquired this summer by Italian Genova discrete step after the Fiorentina. Anthony (185cm/80kg) is a side cut more offensive than defensive, although nothing is a crazy side that neglects the defense. International for 17 years, is a versatile player, used both central, lateral, midfielder or even driving. Very expedient to cut, has great ball handling and a big hit from it, making precise centers. It has a striking physical and used to boast a bestial force. It is a very complete player, but has noted the problem of not much at any position. As Lateral missing some defensive skills such as steering wheel lacks aggressiveness although it has very good dribbling and a quite remarkable speed. Your name has been off over the years despite having 20 years, but is based in Genoa, go far, far away. 
Morouane Fellaini (22/11/1987): 20 years Middle Defensive transferred to Everton this summer. Fellaini (194cm/88kg) former Standard Liege player has become an icon for the Belgian football is that in only 2 seasons in the first team of the Standard, has become the most expensive signing history Belgium. Morouane midfielder is destined to steal, mission fulfilled to perfection, often with excessive aggression. Despite being midfielder defensive, not the typical player who seems invisible in the field and especially noticeable when your game is not (Albelda, Aurelio M. ..), the longer a player goes far field and once recovered leads to the attack with solvency. So their presence is in attack that lets you see door easily, always found in the area rival in the attacking moves. passing game has a simply spectacular and a huge capacity to lower balls. Very difficult to steal the ball, not its speed (it's quite slow) or by dribbling (not too good), it simply is complicated by the prominent physicist who has and its great ability to protect the ball. Another future crack of international stature. 
Steven Defour (15/04/1988): 20-year midfielder who plays for Standard Liege. Defour (175cm/64kg) is another of the new rising stars of football. considered the best player in the Belgian league last , Steven is a great playmaker that also tends to make your play on the wings. Habilidosisimo with ball feet, with a vision explendida game and a very good speed , has all the characteristics to succeed on any computer. It is well known that little will last in the Standard and much is speculated in the past summer on its way. It also has a very great technique and never give up for lost value. It is a natural fighter. Maybe he can blame his lack of scoring despite playing so close to the area, but it makes up a very large number of assists to his teammates. Next year will probably in Belgium, it needs to keep growing. 
Axel Witsel (12/01/1989): Wheel playmaker or 19 years, a member of Standard Liege. Plays the typical player dribbling impossible goal and a nipple. Axel (183cm/72kg), their few 19 years, and has played over 50 games in the Belgian First Division Standard, starting last season and the beginning of this. As mentioned above, Witsel is a player who likes to lovers of spectacular football. speed, agility, dribbling and much impossible goal (scored 7 goals last season, starting many games from the band) are the main technical qualities of this player, you can do both playmaker, which operates with more ease, or as extreme, which always tends to play toward the center. Furthermore, as stated above, has much goal scoring in different ways and with very good technique to shoot. Failing that, after reading this description you, is clear: Very individualistic . Also tends to disappear too games when things do not go as you wish. With a little more team play, will talk a lot more than it already gives ...
Eden Hazard (01/07/1991): 17-year-old midfielder played several games last year in the Lille. First of all Hazard say that I have not seen play more than 4 matches with Lille and just have not seen him play any game. What little I know about him is based on the European Under-17 last year and read articles about it. Eden (170 cm /) is a small midfielder (also has served as a forward) who, like the one described above Witsel, game focuses show, but unlike this, Hazard has a higher team play with a very good game viewing and also dominates the left-handed despite being perfectly right. is a very technical player and boasts a magnificent hit-pieces. It has room for improvement and little to play bestial with Lille (this year has played three games) will be present at the call of the Belgian combined. 
Kevin Mirallas (05/10/1987): Front 20 years who joined Saint-Etienne, which has not yet debuted. Miralles (178cm/72kg) is the greatest hope for the Belgian soccer attack. Playing as a forward, is a player who likes to strip down a lot and stands more for his ability to coach or to open holes as Front scorer. Moreover, as a striker does not stand out much, with some pretty poor numbers (10 goals in 70 games over ..). Despite that, we have great confidence in to improve in this aspect, is that qualities are not lacking. It is very fast and has a large repertoire of dribbles , which it has to play another game as some extreme right. His problem in scoring figures it is not derived from a forward Fallon, otherwise it tends too much to hide in games and always looking the assistance before goal. Yet with a little maturity in front of goal will become a dangerous striker 
Moussa Dembele (07/17/1897): Front 20 years from the AZ. Moussa (177cm/67kg) is the tracing African Mirallas. Mali family, Dembele is a game played at Mirallas. Both bargainers, both fast and they do sometimes as extreme. The only difference is that Dembele is handed and right-handed Mirallas. Perhaps AZ is a player with more presence up and not hiding as much as Mirallas but their numbers are also quite bad attack in soccer, especially because most of the parties as extreme lefty start (in the games he played nearly every game in that district).
