Belgium national team forward Jérémy Doku criticized the national team’s performance after a draw with Kazakhstan (1:1) in the 2026 World Cup qualification match.
«Were we unlucky? Perhaps. The same thing happened as in the match against North Macedonia. It’s all about inefficiency. We couldn’t beat Kazakhstan, so we definitely can’t be satisfied.
Our team has already lost too many points because it wasn’t strong enough in many encounters. We all need to act better: the coach, me, everyone. The absence of De Bruyne and Lukaku? Kevin, Romelu, Courtois. If we need them to beat Kazakhstan, we have no business at the World Cup,» Doku’s words are quoted by Sporza.
