In the second round of the World Cup group stage, world number two Belgium lost 2-0 to Morocco, and only won 1 win and 1 loss in the first two rounds of the group stage. In this game, De Bruyne was matched by the all-powerful Tintin. In fact, in the first win over Canada, Belgium did not play well.
A few days ago, according to the Belgian media "RTL", there was infighting in the Belgian national team, and coach Martinez had to urgently call a "crisis meeting". The outlet said the atmosphere in the Belgian team's dressing room had been reduced to its lowest point, and head coach Martinez also admitted that his team atmosphere was not good.
RTL reported on Monday that Belgium had to call a "crisis meeting" that morning, which was attended by the team's management and coach. How serious is the infighting in the Belgian team? De Bruyne and Courtois reportedly haven't communicated for years for personal reasons (Courtois reportedly pried off De Bruyne's girlfriend).
The conflict between the two Belgian team's biggest players in front and back is not the only problem in the team, the team's two strikers Batshuayi and Romelu Lukaku have not had a good relationship, and the elder Eden Hazard and Trossard have not spoken. It is worth mentioning that before the start of the World Cup, De Bruyne said in an interview that the Belgian team could not win the championship, which seemed to reflect the atmosphere within the Belgian team.
