ROME (ITALPRESS) – “At the beginning of the week, the coach explained his decision to Romelu (Lukaku) and me. I can understand that. I’m no longer the youngest. He opted for a guy who can play for another eight to ten years (Tielemans is 28). It’s a long-term choice” With these words, Kevin De Bruyne once again showed his class, not only on the pitch but also off it. On Thursday, in the 6-0 win against Liechtenstein, he also scored a goal, confirming his technical strength and ability to make an impact.
Despite this, the topic of the captain’s armband could have raised doubts about his role in the national team. Coach Rudi Garcia’s choice instead fell on Youri Tielemans. An attitude that says a lot about the Belgian champion: not only an enlightened playmaker on the pitch, but also a beacon of maturity and awareness for the entire locker room.
