Belgium are aiming to put a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign behind them, with success in the Nations League now their priority.
Domenico Tedesco's side reached the last 16 in Germany, being knocked out after a 1-0 defeat to France thanks to Jan Vertonghen's own goal.
Belgium won just one of their four games at the tournament, finishing second behind Romania in the exceptionally tight Group E.
They had 20 shots on target throughout the tournament, but only scored two goals, with both of them coming in their victory over Romania in the second group game.
Forward Charles De Ketelaere, who played just six minutes in the tournament, says they are not focusing on the past.
"We talked about it yesterday so we can leave it behind," De Ketelaere said.
"We should have done better in the group stage so that we got an easier opponent in the last-16 than a top side like France.
"It's not just the coach's fault, because it's the players on the field who carry out the instructions. The only way to move forward is with the games ahead of us."
Belgium are turning their attention to the Nations League, where they will face Israel and France in League A Group 2 this international break.
With a potential title on the line if they can put on a strong show in the competition, De Ketelaere is confident Belgium can get back to their best.
"I just see it as two matches we want to win," De Ketelaere added. "The group is also still a [good chance to advance], even though the European Championship was not what we expected.
"I'm ready to show myself and do my best. I hope I get my chance. There will be more room to play, and I hope I can do my part."
Chelsea confirm Angelo exit to Al-Nassr in £19.4m transfer
Angelo Gabriel has completed a permanent transfer to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr from Chelsea.
Angelo has signed a five-year contract with the Saudi outfit, who are captained by Cristiano Ronaldo, for a reported £19.4million transfer fee.
Chelsea have also included a sell-on clause as part of their agreement with Al-Nassr.
The 19-year-old Brazilian arrived at Stamford Bridge last year from Santos in a £13m deal, but spent last campaign on loan with Strasbourg.
He made 25 appearances in all competitions, notching four assists, but only 11 of his 22 league outings came as starts as he missed the end of the term with a groin injury.
Angelo became the 11th permanent departure from the club as the Blues ended their transfer window with a net spend of £46.5m.

Lewis creates British history with Sao Paulo loan move
Jamal Lewis has become the first British player to sign for Sao Paulo as his season-long loan move from Newcastle United was confirmed on Tuesday.
Lewis, who spent last season with Watford in the Championship, has signed with the Brazilian side for the upcoming campaign with a view to make the move permanent.
The Northern Ireland international made 36 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle following his £15million move from Norwich in 2020.
But Lewis fell quickly out of favour, and during the 2021-22 Premier League season, was even omitted from the 25-player squad list for the remainder of the term.
The 26-year-old's final appearance for the Magpies came as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the 2023, but he expressed his excitement about his new chapter.
"When I heard about this opportunity, I told my manager straight away that I'd like to come to Brazil," Lewis said in a statement on Sao Paulo's website.
"It's an honour to play for a giant like Sao Paulo and be the first British player in the club's history.
"It's an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I'm looking forward to meeting the fans and contributing to the team."
