Belgium are in uncharted territory for their World Cup semifinal with France but believe their team spirit and togetherness can ensure they carry on their extraordinary journey in Russia, manager Roberto Martinez has said.
"The players have been working together extraordinarily well for many years, and they deserve to be exactly where they are today," Martinez told ESPN FC.

"It's a trip into the unknown. We've never been in such a situation, and that's why we need our team spirit more than ever against France. We need to be the best version of ourselves."
"Both (teams) have the right mix of youth and experience and also lots of individual talent," he added.
