De Bruyne Criticises Belgium Teammates After Defeat to France

Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne Criticises Belgium Teammates After Loss to France

Belgium was defeated 2-0 by France in the second round of the Nations League yesterday.

«I can't say here what went wrong. I already did that to the team at half-time. I cannot repeat that in the media, but it has to be better in every way. If the standard we want to reach is the best, but we're no longer good enough to get to that level, then you have to give everything. If you don't even do that, it's over.

I can accept that we're not as good as in 2018.I was the first to see that, but other things are unacceptable. I'm not going to say what.

We are too many at the back. If you stay with six at the back, there is no connection. It is what it is. It is not about transition, but about people who do not perform their tasks.» — told De Bruyne ESPN.
