Kevin De Bruyne tried very hard but could not help Belgium get a favorable result.

It is not the first time De Bruyne has expressed his frustration with his teammates. The Belgium captain told Belgian broadcaster VTM that the team had too many problems in the match against France. He said: "I cannot say what happened here. I spoke to the team at half-time. I cannot repeat this in the media, but we have to perform better.

Belgium want to perform at their best, but we are no longer capable of reaching that level. So you have to give your all. If you don't do that, it's over. I can accept that we are not as good as in 2018. I am the first to see that, but the other things are unacceptable."

Belgium are too deep, too many players are too deep. There is no connection if the gap between the teams is too far. It is not about generational transition, it is about people not doing their job."

The Belgian team was completely outclassed by France when they only had 9 shots compared to 25 of their opponents and did not create many dangerous opportunities. This was Belgium's 4th consecutive defeat against France. Previously, France had overcome Belgium thanks to Vertonghen's own goal in the round of 16 of EURO 2024.

Coach Domenico Tedesco said he understood De Bruyne's anger. The 38-year-old strategist said: "He is our captain and always wants to win, so he reacted purely emotionally."
