Belgium boss Marc Wilmots blasts Christian Benteke, Romelu Lukaku

Belgium boss Marc Wilmots says that Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku just stood there "like two poles" during their Euro 2016 qualifying to Wales.

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has criticised strikers Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku following the team's 1-0 defeat to Wales in their Euro 2016 qualifier.

The national team boss said that the Premier League duo were too static during the game, comparing them to a couple of "poles".

Wilmots told Sporza: "We are a bit disappointed. The first half was good, but we've given away a goal and that made Wales stronger.

"I changed my system afterwards, because Benteke was isolated. I then played with two strikers, but they need more crosses. We asked them to get to the front post, but they stand there like two poles. We still have work to do."

Gareth Bale scored the only goal of the game to fire Wales to the top of Group B.
