Lukaku’s tears are the tears of all BelgiansBecause a golden generation is coming to an end, because in a country of 11 million people, a generation of amazing players came together to top the FIFA rankings for 4 consecutive years, because they did not reach the expectations, because in the last World Cup they were third , and finally because today, hThey were left in the group stage after Croatia and Morocco.
The World Cup for the Belgians started in a rare atmosphere, Egypt He took a shower in the pre-tournament friendly and started setting off the ‘Red Devils’ alarms. Despite this, it remained an anecdote because it was a friendly but the ‘rún-rún’ remained in the dressing room of the Belgians.
The atmosphere inside the locker room before the start of the tournament is already strange. your star, Kevin De Bruyne, kicked out of his team for being ‘too old’and according to the midfielder
“Our moment to win the tournament was 4 years ago”. These statements fell like a bomb on the older players, and the reality is the average age of Belgium (27.8 years old), this was the second highest in the entire tournament.
This tension exploded after a heavy defeat against the Morocco, Jan Vertonghen he indirectly refers to his partner’s words: “I guess we attacked badly because we are too old up front as well.” Total break in the locker room.
After both matches, a fight broke out in between Hazard Y Vertonghen that needs to stop stupidapart from the feud between De Bruyne and Courtois They haven’t talked for a long time due to personal issues.
Robert Martinez he messed up by saying “sThe tensions between the locker room are normal, we were hurt by the loss“But everything seems to be like that the atmosphere among the Belgians was touched for a long time and it exploded at the worst moment.
Today we say goodbye to the generation of Vertonghen Y alderweireldthe defensive leaders, the De Bruyne and Witselthe star and his squire, and the of Hazardwhich has been missing for a long time, and of stupid which was reduced to contest damages.
A group of stars that always aims higher than it comes, because you go through line after line and they’ve had big names, but they’ve never raised anything. The Belgian’s biggest success was close the 2018 World Cup podiumbut to be honest, I think we are all short of a bronze in a World Cup with the great team they have had in recent years.
The future will tell whether Belgium will have a generation as good as the one that lived, Bob assured in a press conference that thanks to these players, Belgian football has grown and become an example for younger generations. Thanks to these stars, it has been possible to build some great facilities in Belgium that will help future promises to reach the top, and perhaps achieve what their heroes did not achieve.
And perhaps, that is the greatest achievement of this generation, which lays the foundations and serves as an example to show that the Belgian team is at the top of World Cup football, a goal that was almost achieved by the recently fallen.
