We just focus on what we want to do. And then we see on Sunday and that&#8217;s it. We just focus on preparing the game as much as we can. We go to the game, we know what we want to do.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThere&#8217;s no need to put pressure on us, saying &#8216;We are the best&#8217;. It&#8217;s just about who&#8217;s going to show it on the pitch and who&#8217;s going to win that game. That&#8217;s it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The Belgium international is looking forward to the powederkeg fixture and knows how crucial it could be for both teams&#8217; seasons.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWe&#8217;re excited about going into this game. It&#8217;s a massive game for us,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have been making sure our preparation is right, and we just can&#8217;t wait to be at the game.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cObviously if you win the game, you get a boost of confidence. So yes, it&#8217;s a massive game. But like I said, after that, the next big game is also three points, and the next one is also three points.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cI think there&#8217;s going to be points dropped by both teams before the end of the season. Obviously, if you win the game, you get a boost of confidence. But again, it&#8217;s just about being calm.
