Jan Vertonghen eyes fast start to qualifying for Belgium

Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen claims that it is crucial for Belgium to start their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with two positive results.

Jan Vertonghen has claimed that it is vital for Belgium to make a positive start to their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

Belgium finally begin their bid to qualify from Group B against Andorra on Friday, having seen their match against Israel scheduled for last month postponed.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Vertonghen is fully aware that a loss in either of the opening two games would be a big blow.

"We need a win against Andorra at home then we have Bosnia away where we need at least a point," he told Tottenham's official website. "It's important not to lose the away games, especially against direct opponents for qualification from the group.

"I've not played against Andorra or Bosnia before – the last time we played Bosnia I was injured – but it's very important to get some early wins.

"The other teams have played already like Wales and Bosnia, so hopefully we can get off to a good start."

Belgium have not qualified for the European Championship finals since 2000.
