“We have to work very hard. It's by no means easy because a country like Belgium produces so many footballers. But it's also true that the smaller nations are also developing and I realised that in the qualification group the smaller nations are very well organised, and it's true, they have made progress.”
But Calzona hailed the win which puts Slovakia on course for the last 16 with matches to come against Ukraine and Romania.
