De Bruyne: Rest of the rock Belgium didn’t play good football

Kevin de Bruyne, manager of Manchester City and the Belgium national team, commented on the performance of the national team for the bags of the last world championship in Qatar.

“The world championship was not good enough. We are guilty of accepting and supporting that the attacking time is better. Frankly, it seems that we played better in the other half against Croatia. Our games were not good enough. We are guilty of accepting the whole team.

In the end, the two destinies were not kind. Surprise yourself, remember we haven’t played good football for a while and we haven’t played too many games. We wanted to achieve more, but I think that was just impossible in this tournament.

Be sure to check for a fresh start at any time. Bude is the new head coach. Tse changes everything. And if you need more help, what kind of coach comes to change the wine. We cannot judge gravity. That is why we will have to get to the bottom of things, get everything right,” De Bruyne told Goal.com.

Let’s guess, at the last emergency – 2022 in Qatar, the Belgian team scored some points and took more than third place in Group F, leading Morocco and Croatia ahead and outperforming Canada.

Martinez explains why Ronaldo is still irreplaceable in the national team

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.

– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?

Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.

“To ensure that the two best-ranked teams, once they have won their group, do not compete against each other until the final,” FIFA says.

The new method has the potential to create more balance between teams and ensure that the strongest teams come together in the later stages of growth, as is often the case. Tenis, where the seeding system ensures finals between the nearest gravel types.

Although weaker teams can strengthen their system, this system supports sporting integrity and gives an advantage to the most successful teams. FIFA is committed to competitive balance and will give matches the highest priority to fans.

The draw for the Emergency 2026 group stage will take place on the 5th day and the latest updates on the match schedule and stadiums will be announced the following day.
