After the impressive turn that Belgium took from France in the semifinals of the League of Nations, what was left was to dispute the third place. However, the result was not what was expected. This Sunday, the team lost 2-1 to Italy and ended the tournament in a disappointing way.
After the match, Kevin De Bruyne showed sincerity when talking about the team’s blunder. “With all due respect, we are just Belgium. We come with a new generation. We miss a lot of players, who are high level, like Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku. We have to be realistic with the team we have. Italy and France have it. 22 top players. We don’t have that,” said the midfielder.
Belgium’s “Golden Generation” would have everything to disenchant this season, but let the opportunities go down the drain. Belgian full-back Timothy Castagne says he now remains focused on the 2022 World Cup.
“It’s good to have a mentality and now we have to get results against great teams. Now it’s about giving everything to do even better in the 2022 World Cup,” said Timothy.
Belgium face two more commitments for the Qualifiers. On November 13, the team meets Estonia, at home, at 4:45 pm (GMT). On the 16th of the same month, the Belgians face Wales, at the same time, away from home.
