Belgian national team midfielder Kevin De Bruyne at a press conference before the return match against the Ukrainian national team in the playoff of the Nations League for the right to compete in Division "A" of this tournament next season, which will take place today in Genk, reflected on the events of the first meeting (1:3).

"I think in the first match we controlled the flow of the game for the first 60 minutes. Then we made a few minor mistakes, for which our opponent punished us. It’s not that Ukraine outplayed us.
Zinchenko's play on the right flank of defense? That didn’t surprise me. He has played in different positions, including for his national team.
Our new head coach is having a hard time right now. He simply hasn’t had enough time to implement many tactical aspects. Yes, he has already given us some instructions, but we haven’t done enough. Everything will improve over time; both we and our coach need that,” said De Bruyne.
