Krach in Belgium – top performers in the clinch

Krach in Belgium – top performers in the clinch

The Belgian national team is on the brink of being eliminated from the World Cup. In addition to weak sporting performances, the mood in the cabin is obviously not good either.

After an extremely fortunate opening win against Canada, Belgium deservedly lost to Morocco on Matchday 2. The Red Devils need a win in the final group game against Croatia to advance to the knockout stages – even a draw will (in all likelihood) not be enough.

Now, of course, Belgium would theoretically be able to defeat Croatia. As I said: theoretically.

Because previous appearances at the World Cup are anything but optimistic that the Red Devils can win on the third day of the game. As if the sporting performances weren’t disappointing and sobering enough, there are probably also atmospheric disturbances.

The Belgian medium RTL Info reports that after the defeat against Morocco there was a verbal altercation between Kevin De Bruyne, Jan Vertonghen and Eden Hazard – Romelu Lukaku had to intervene and calm the brawlers. Then it should be loud L’Equipe have held an emergency meeting with the Belgians.

The French newspaper adds that several players in the squad are not green anyway. De Bruyne and Courtois are said to have “not spoken to each other for years” due to private reasons. The same applies to Eden Hazard and Leandro Trossard, who do not exchange a word with each other. And the two storm rivals, Michy Batshuayi and Romelu Lukaku, are also said to not be on good terms with each other.

Given these conditions, it is highly doubtful that Belgium will achieve the victory it needs on Thursday.
