KAZAN, Russia - Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said he has no secrets as he plots to end Brazil's bid for a record-extending sixth World Cup ahead of their "dream" quarterfinal in Kazan on Friday.
But the nation's "Golden Generation" has been reminded that the match against the tournament favorite might represent a last chance to shine on the world stage.
"It's a dream match for our players," Martinez told Belgian media after sealing qualification for the last eight with a last-gasp 3-2 victory over Japan in the first phase of the knockout rounds.
