Kevin De Bruyne was one of three Belgian national team players who were given permission by Roberto Martínez, his national team coach, not to participate in Tuesday’s match against Poland (in Group 4 of League A of the Nations League) and start the holiday. now. The other two are Yannick Carrasco and Thomas Meunier.
“De Bruyne has given enough, so has Carrasco,” Roberto Martinez said. “Meunier played two games after not performing for three months. We can’t force anyone.”
However, De Bruyne, who has been critical to play in the Nations League this month after a long time at Manchester City, said he would be pleased to continue.
“I played three games in almost 90 minutes. I was physically fit and I would have liked to play in the last game against Poland, but it was the coach’s decision,” De Bruyne told the media.
De Bruyne left after Belgium left his advantage over Cardiff and allowed Wales to equalize in the 86th minute (1-1).
“It’s embarrassing in the late draw,” De Bruyne added. “We were in charge at the beginning of the second half, but then we forgot to play football. But with all the changes in the team, it wasn’t the worst performance. We had no rhythm and all the players were tired, they had already played many battles “.
Roberto Martinez was furious at Wales ’final goal, flagged by Brennan Johnson and first flagged as offside, but was eventually awarded after lengthy review by the VAR. “It was a surprising decision,” Balaguer’s coach said, adding that the VAR erred in reversing the linesman’s decision.
“The lines don’t seem to be parallel, the assistant was right. They robbed us, “Roberto Martínez told Belgian television.
