Kevin De Bruyne<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Belgium captain, Kevin De Bruyne, launched an angry tirade against his teammates after his side were beaten 2-0 away to France in their Nations League clash on Monday.<\/p>\n
Not for the first time, De Bruyne was visibly frustrated during the Group A2 match and afterwards told Belgian VTM television too many things had gone wrong in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t say here what went wrong. I already did that to the team at half-time,\u201d he said. \u201cI 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\u2019re no longer good enough to get to that level, then you have to give everything. If you don\u2019t even do that, it\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n
France beat Belgium 1-0 in their last meeting with considerably more at stake in the round of 16 of the European Championship this summer. And De Bruyne echoed a similar sentiment on Monday as he did after their Euro exit in Germany.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can accept that we\u2019re not as good as in 2018,\u201d the 33-year-old De Bruyne said of the side that reached the World Cup semifinals in Russia. \u201cI was the first to see that, but other things are unacceptable. I\u2019m not going to say what.\u201d<\/p>\n
France overcame a slow start to redeem themselves after a 3-1 loss to Italy on Friday, as Randal Kolo Muani\u2019s close-range strike and Ousmane Dembele\u2019s left-foot drive handed them their first points of their Nations League campaign.<\/p>\n
And when De Bruyne was pressed in the interview as to what went wrong, he did point out one problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are too many at the back. If you stay with six at the back, there is no connection,\u201d said the Manchester City playmaker. \u201cIt is what it is. It is not about transition, but about people who do not perform their tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coach Domenico Tedesco said he understood De Bruyne\u2019s anger.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is our captain and has a huge winning mentality, so he can also react emotionally,\u201d the coach said.<\/p>\n
