Intro:

Belgian manager Marc Wilmots said that he expects a "very tough game" against Wales, while goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois believes they will have to wary of the Welsh on the counter-attack during their Euro 2016 Group B qualifier in Cardiff. Courtois also didn't want to be drawn on the future of Chelsea teammate Petr Cech, but said "if he stays I am happy, if he leaves I understand as well".

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Thibaut Courtois, Belgium goalkeeper (Q: Gareth Bale, is he the main man as far as you're concerned for Wales?)

"I think he is maybe their biggest player, but I think Wales has a very good team that knows how to put a block together, how to defend well and don't give us chances and I think they will hope on the counter-attack and really search the space at the back and we have to defend well as well."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Thibaut Courtois, Belgium goalkeeper (Q: How big is the loss of Marouane Fellaini?)

"Yeah I think Fellaini is really important for us , I think he showed that against France, but I think we have a team with a lot of qualities and that another player will step in for him and do the best that he can. But I think Marouane is physically strong, you know Wales has also strong players, it could have helped to have him in the team, but I think we have other players that can do well as well."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Thibaut Courtois, Belgium goalkeeper (Q:How important is it for you personally and for Belgium to win the match?)

"Yeah I think it is an important match for us to getting closer to qualify. Wales is first with us, so I think it's an important game. Who wins this game will be a step closer to go to France."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Thibaut Courtois, Belgium and Chelsea goalkeeper (Q: Do you understand Petr Cech's frustration after quite a difficult season for him at Chelsea?)

"I don't want to speak now about that, I think the game of tomorrow is the most important. I think during the year I told a lot about Petr Cech, for me he is a fantastic guy, I worked really well together with him. If he stays I am happy, if he leaves I understand as well. But I think the game of tomorrow is more important now than speaking about things at Chelsea."
