Midfielder of the Belgian national team Kevin de Bruyne commented on the episode with a quarrel with Toby Alderweireld after scoring a goal against the Canadian national team (1:0) in the match of the group stage of the 2022 World Cup.
"We cannot play in the Manchester City style. In the national team, you have to adapt to the players around you. Does this make me sad? Yes, but I have to restrain myself. This is the perfection I strive for.
I know that my reaction is not always correct. I'm also trying to find that peace, but people know it's my way of helping the team play better and get more out of the game. From time to time, emotions come out, but this is also part of the game," Goal quoted the midfielder as saying.
