Axel Witsel: Stadium St. Petersburg is the most beautiful of the World Cup

The former Zenit midfielder spoke to the press before Belgium's third place playoff with England in St. Petersburg.
We have one goal, to take the third place. We are looking for the best result possible as it's not everyday you get to compete for third place at the World Cup. The night after the semi-final was difficult, but our families supported us, and we were able to focus on this game. The whole team intends to finish the tournament on a positive note. 

In our team there are a lot of great players. During the whole tournament I did not think of myself as someone playing in the Chinese league, I represented the national team of Belgium. And when you're on the pitch, you can only think about helping your team. 

I am proud that this will be my 96th match for Belgium. This World Cup has been very successful for me. Probably the most successful.

Stadium St. Petersburg is the most beautiful stadium at this World Cup. I'm not saying this because I played for Zenit, but because it's just amazing.
