Belgium put in an encouraging performance in Friday's Euro 2012 qualifier against Germany, but the Rode Duivels were eventually beaten 1-0.

They now go on to face Turkey on Tuesday in yet another difficult match, but defender Thomas Vermaelen is hopeful the Belgians can get a good result in Istanbul.

"A few years ago we had a good result in Turkey and I'm confident we'll get a good result again. I think we need more creativity, to be more dominant in the game and create more chances," Vermaelen was quoted as saying on UEFA's official website.

Young attacker Romelu Lukaku was also quite positive ahead of the match against Turkey and pointed out that Belgium still have a good chance to make it to Poland/Ukraine.

"We can hold our heads high after the loss against Germany and reflect on a good first-half performance which will put us in good heart going to Turkey," said the Anderlecht starlet.

"We're a young side and we're still learning. We're not going to say to ourselves that this defeat will make it hard for us to qualify because there are still plenty of games to play."
