Michy Batshuayi Show His 'Off the Ball' Talent During Belgium's Friendly Match Against Croatia

Belgian football player Michy Batshuayi stood out in the international friendly against Croatia even without stepping on the field. Both sides clashed on Monday morning in a preparatory meeting which is precursor to their respective Euro 2020 campaigns. Batshuayi, who was left on the bench by manager Roberto Martinez for this tie, showcased his skills as cameraman, while his teammates performed their duty on the field.

The Belgians, who were held to a draw by Greece in their last outing, returned to winning with a 1-0 triumph over Croatia at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels. Romelu Lukaku’s 38th minute brace and the only goal of the game, sealed a victory for them. Meanwhile, Batshuayi didn’t get to play but he was able to capture a few moments of the match proceedings when he took control as a cameraman at the venue.

He shared a photo of himself handling the cameraman duties on his official Twitter account. Along with the photo he cheekily wrote that any team should get a man “who can do both.”

Meanwhile, the Belgian star who is heading into the final year of his contract at Chelsea, has been reportedly allowed to leave the club the coming summer. The Champions League winners are looking at big signings such as Romelu Lukaku or Erling Haaland and it looks unlikely that Batshuayi will be involved in the main squad at Stamford Bridge upon returning from a loan spell with Crystal Palace, Sports Mole reported.

His stint at Crystal Palace hasn’t fared well for the 27-year-old as he could manage to score only twice in his eighteen Premier League games. However, Leeds United have shown interest to sign Batshuayi as a potential target.
