Belgium national team coach, Roberto Martinez has revealed that he had always been a fan of World Cup Group G opponent, England. The former Wigan and Everton manager stated that his 21-year stay in the country has made him grow accustomed to supporting the Three Lions at major international competitions.
“I lived 21 years in Spain, 21 in England, and two in Belgium, so I’m quite split in the middle. My managerial career has been all in the British game until the last two years. You get great satisfaction when you see a young player like John Stones that you give their debut in the Premier League [at Everton], and they end up playing for England,” Martinez said.
