After European Championship exit
De Bruyne leaves his future in the national team open
Captain Kevin De Bruyne has left his future in the Belgian national soccer team open following the European Championship defeat to France.
The 33-year-old Manchester City star did not want to answer whether he would continue to play for Belgium on Monday after the 1-0 defeat in the round of 16. "I have to digest it now," said the playmaker. "He knows how important he is," said national team coach Domenico Tedesco. "I don't think he needs my opinion on it."
Belgium also failed early at the 2022 World Cup. Before that, there had been more successful years for Belgium, but also without a title. The Red Devils finished third at the 2018 World Cup and reached the European Championship quarter-finals in 2021.
When asked about Belgium's so-called golden generation, De Bruyne reacted irritably: "Who is the golden generation supposed to be? And would you say that France, Spain, England or Germany don't have a golden generation?"
