Another gap separated Kevin De Bruyne from the press after the match. In front of the media, the captain never minced his words. Frank, he responded with his usual phlegm to Tancredi Palmeri, an Italian journalist who works for SportItalia and CNN.
Some French players were surprised: “The Red Devils almost impressed me”
The question was rather clear: “Do you regret that Belgium and its golden generation did not manage to qualify for the final once again?” KDB chose to answer with a question of his own. “What is a golden generation?”
The Italian journalist simply replied, “yours.” De Bruyne: “And France, England, Spain, Germany don’t have any?”
“An awkward moment”: the French press looks back at the elimination of the Red Devils by the Blues
Visibly irritated at always having to justify the name given to this generation, the Manchester City player got angry and ended this conversation with a “stupid”.
On Twitter, the journalist wanted to defend himself… while attacking the Red Devils’ number 7. “Aha De Bruyne just called me stupid. Hey Kevin, little memo for you: the golden generations you mentioned, France, England, Germany and Spain, they all reached a final! An ordinary footballer who only wants questions about his level. A spoiled child.”
