"Never experienced before"
Belgium team boss complains – now the police are fighting back
After Belgium's disappointing 0-0 draw against Ukraine, Domenico Tedesco complained about the slow escort to the game in Stuttgart (video above). Now the police are fighting back.
"I would like to make one thing clear. The circumstances under which we arrived here, I've never experienced anything like it," Belgium's team boss grumbled after the game.
Tedesco: "We arrived an hour before kick-off. Our police escort drove at 20 km/h. There were no flashing blue lights. The road was completely clear. It still took us over an hour to get from the team hotel." In the end, there were only a few minutes to get changed and speak.
Police respond to criticism
The police have now responded to the allegations. "The Belgian team and UEFA had already been informed by the police in advance that an arrival time of 40 minutes was not sufficient. The police suggested an arrival time of 60 minutes. This was rejected by the Belgian association," said Frank Belz, spokesman for the Stuttgart police headquarters, to the Stuttgarter Nachrichten and Stuttgarter Zeitung newspapers.
