Kevin De Bruyne Labeled Worst Big Game Player

Following Belgium’s elimination from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, a post headlined “Kevin De Bruyne, the worst big-game player of all time” has gained a lot of attention.

Belgium needed to defeat Croatia in the final round of Group F games in order to guarantee its spot in the round of 16.

They were unable to get past the Croatian defense, though. Romelu Lukaku, who came on in the second half, missed not one, but four significant opportunities to put his team ahead.

Ultimately, Croatia managed to hold on for a tense 0-0 draw, eliminating Belgium from the group round.

A thread criticizing Manchester City’s Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne, who has been accused of disappearing in crucial situations, appeared on Twitter shortly after the game’s conclusion.

De Bruyne’s remarks that the current Belgium team had no chance of winning the World Cup because they were too old started the thread.

The performance of Kevin De Bruyne against Morocco was then closely examined.

Following that, De Bruyne’s World Cup 2018 performance against France was cited as the tournament’s worst ever overall performance.

De Bruyne’s performances for City in crucial games don’t seem good either; over several seasons, he failed to manage a single goal or assist in the Champions League’s knockout rounds.

For Belgium manager, Roberto Martinez, the Spaniard has moved quickly to step down from his role as head coach of the Red Devils following Belgium’s elimination from the world cup.

The Spaniard said:

“Yes, that was my last game. It has been six years.

“I arrived with the clear idea of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Then we became so engaged with the project and won a bronze medal. I’m so proud of these players. It has been amazing.

“Since 2018 I had many opportunities to leave and take jobs at club level, but I wanted to stay loyal.”
