On the star-studded stage of the 2024 UEFA Nations League, a matchup that everyone was looking forward to and should have been splashed with Mars ended in a chilling defeat of Belgium to France with a 0-2 defeat.
This result, like a basin of cold water, extinguished the fire of enthusiasm in the hearts of fans around the world, leaving only endless sighs and sighs.
And after this disappointing defeat, the words of Belgium's midfield magician Kevin De Bruyne were like a thunderclap in the summer.
This thunder not only woke up the Belgium team that seemed to be still sleeping, but also made the entire Belgium football and even the vast world football scene look sideways.
After the game, when the spotlight was on the soul of Belgium football, De Bruyne did not choose to remain silent or escape from reality, as some might do.
On the contrary, with a stunning, almost brutal candor attitude, he resolutely opened up the world's inner team to the outside world, which was a little naked.
"In the dressing room, it's like a fierce war without gunpowder."
He described the discussion in a seemingly breezy tone, "but this is definitely not a mutual accusation, but a deep reflection on the current state of the team."
It is clear to all of us that last night's defeat was more than a technical and tactical defeat.
That is a serious slippage in our mentality and beliefs. ”
In that little locker room, the air seemed to freeze.
Some of the team's faces were full of frustration, while others were deeply confused.
De Bruyne stood there, his eyes determined and serious.
His words, like a hammer, struck everyone's heart one by one.
Everyone began to think seriously about what went wrong with their performance in the game.
There was no bickering, no invective, just worries about the future of the team and a desire to win.
From De Bruyne's words, one can clearly feel his deep nostalgia for the past glory of the Belgium team, and the helplessness of the current team's predicament.
"Remember that summer of 2018? At that time, we were like the wind of freedom, invincible, galloping freely on the court. ”
There was a subtle hint of nostalgia in his words.
That summer, Belgium seemed to be an invincible division, their attack was raging like a tide, and their defense was as solid as steel.
Every player is full of fighting spirit and passion, and they use their strength and courage to conquer one strong opponent after another.
However, time flies, and the current Belgium team, the former sharpness, seems to have been gradually smoothed out by the ruthless time.
'We're no longer the team that can tear apart the opposition defence at will.
De Bruyne's words are like a sharp sword that pierces the fog of reality.
Today's Belgium team often looks indecisive in the game, lacking discipline in attack and full of holes in defense.
They are no longer the strong team that terrifies their opponents, but they are in a state of confusion and do not know how to regain their former glory.
When it comes to the specific issues facing the team at the moment, De Bruyne has shown his keen eye as a midfield maestro.
"There has been an extremely serious deviation in the tactical execution of our team."
He said bluntly without mercy.
In his opinion, the team is too conservative in defense, and this conservative defensive strategy is like a shackle that restricts the hands and feet of the players, so that they dare not attack boldly on the field.
"We were too conservative defensively, which led to a loss of creativity on the offensive end."
De Bruyne said with a frown.
He went on to point out that the strikers seemed to forget that their priority was to score goals, rather than frequently returning to their own half.
This behavior of the forwards not only made the team's attack lose its power, but also threw the entire team's tactical system into chaos.
De Bruyne's remarks are undoubtedly a public question of the team's tactical arrangement.
His questioning, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly sparked extensive discussion among fans and experts.
Some people think De Bruyne has a point, the team does need to make tactical adjustments; It has also been suggested that De Bruyne's criticism has been too harsh and could affect the team's unity.
But in any case, De Bruyne's words have made people start to re-examine Belgium's tactical system and the team's performance in the game.
In the face of such outspoken criticism from De Bruyne, head coach Domenico Tedesco has shown extraordinary mind and intelligence.
'Kevin De Bruyne is the leader of the team and his every word is full of desire to win and hope for the future.
Tedesco said firmly in his post-match press conference.
He believes that De Bruyne's direct feedback, while it may sound harsh, is exactly what the team needs at the moment.
"His words remind us that we must face up to problems and have the courage to change."
Tedesco's words let people see his responsibility and courage as a head coach.
In his opinion, De Bruyne's criticism is not a denial of the team, but an encouragement to the team.
He believes that as long as the team listens carefully to De Bruyne's advice, has the courage to face problems and actively adjusts, the Belgium team will be able to get out of the predicament and regain its former glory.
Tedesco's support also made De Bruyne feel the support and trust from the manager.
This support and trust is undoubtedly a great encouragement for De Bruyne.
He knows that he is not fighting alone, behind him, with the support of the whole team and the trust of the manager.
He believes that as long as everyone works together and works together, the Belgium team will be able to overcome difficulties and rise again.
