Belgium coach Wilmots raps Everton's Mirallas over Januzaj attack

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has told Everton attacker Kevin Mirallas to shut it. Mirallas has been told to keep his opinions to himself by Wilmots after he questioned Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj's World Cup credentials.

Wilmots told Voetbal International: "He (Mirallas) also said that if a striker is needed that Jelle Vossen (of Genk) could be likely. That's not his job. For this, he should be silent.

"The rules are: you have to talk about yourself, but not the others. On the selection I decide, Kevin may have his opinion, but he should not talk about others, or how new players like Januzaj can affect the group atmosphere?

"Stop talking nonsense. We have never had a problem when there is a new player. For Januzaj that will not be a problem. He has an exemplary attitude."
