After the match against France, the footage shot by our team showing Kevin De Bruyne talking to Franky Vercauteren and seeming to say “Ik stop”, or “I quit”, went viral. In our show “Dans le Vestiaire”, the members of the day discussed it at length.

Belgium delivered a disappointing performance against France in the Nations League, rekindling already harsh criticism after the Euro towards national coach Domenico Tedesco.
“I think the team hasn’t improved since he arrived. At the beginning, we saw a bit of improvement, in the state of mind, with certain players who came and he gave a lot of playing time to everyone. During the Euro, we all took a slap in the face, we expected better. There, this match against France, we heard a lot of statements, but we saw nothing. The only thing we will perhaps remember from the Tedesco era is that we will have lost the best goalkeeper in the world and the best attacking midfielder in the world. It’s unfortunate“, analyzes Kevin Mirallas before continuing.
“The only thing we want is for them to get their jerseys wet. Against France, we saw it for 20 minutes. Onana, his first quality is to recover balls and make shots. Even that, he didn’t do it. For a moment, social networks are all well and good, but this jersey is unique, when you wear it, you have to show something“.
Because beyond the defeat, the images of Kevin De Bruyne, seeming to say “I quit” to Franky Vercauteren also crystallized the attention of the Red Devils supporters.I feel like there’s a fed-up feeling. We see Kevin quite frustrated in the national team. In his defense, it’s true that not everything is going as it should, but as captain, he has to unite everyone, set an example. His last match against France wasn’t good either. But it’s not easy when you come from City and you’ve known the golden age of the national team.“, notes the former Devil.
For the captaincy, if you take it away from him, you will create another story.
“The guy, he’s 33 years old, 107 caps, he’s been the best player everywhere he’s been, it doesn’t shock me at all. Ok, a captain has to unite, but maybe he’s already done it several times before this match. I would understand if he left, but it would be a terrible shame.“, adds Marc Delire.
After this episode, some questioned the status of captain of ‘KDB’ in the event that he continued the adventure with the Red Devils.I don’t see him stopping, we’re talking about a player who allows himself to yell at Pep Guardiola in the middle of a match. So, he’s like that everywhere. As for the captaincy, if you take it away from him, you’re going to create another story. We want to talk about football, and on the pitch, it’s bad“, says Kevin Sauvage, journalist for Sudinfo.
