Dries Mertens’s wife recounted what happened in the Belgian National Team: It was very strange

Kat Kerkhofs, wife of the Belgian footballer from Galatasaray Dries Mertens, detailed what happened in the Belgian National Team, which got involved after repeatedly showing poor performances in the World Cup.

Belgium defeated Canada 1-0 in their first match in Group F, losing 2-0 to Morocco in the second match, giving up their chance to play Croatia. In addition to the poor performance in the first two games, there were reports that there were arguments within the team and that some players fought in the locker room. When Kevin de Bruyne and Jan Verthongen were about to have a fight, the news that Romelu Lukaku had intervened and separated the two hit like a bombshell.

“NOT AT THE LEVEL OF 2018”

Belgium’s star footballer Kevin de Bruyne claimed they were too old to win the tournament in Qatar: “We are a good team but we are getting old. We lost some of our key players. Some good new players are coming but They are not at the level of other players in 2018.” He criticized himself.

“IF WE FIND WHO YOU ARE, IT WILL BE THE LAST DAY”

Defender Jan Verthongen, 35, mocked De Bruyne’s words, saying: “I think we are attacking badly because we are too old up front,” while goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said: “Too many lies are being spread “. . Things are told that don’t exist. Yesterday everything became clear, everyone clearly expressed their opinion. Now we have to be honest with each other and fight for each other on the pitch. “If we know who broke this news to the press, it will be his last day with the national team.”

MERTENS WIFE SAYS REUNION ‘Weird’

The wife of the Galatasaray player Dries Mertens, who appeared in Qatar with the Belgian team, spoke on the Midmid Mondial podcast about the discussions in the dressing room. Kerkhofs described the ‘weird’ barbecue gathering that took place after a heated speech in the players’ locker room:

“It was really strange. It makes sense that players are disappointed. But it was strange to read that there were tensions within the group. The next morning, everyone on the team greeted each other with kisses. I think they are all very sweet to each other.”

Belgium will face Croatia on Thursday to advance to the round of 16. Croatia and Morocco have 4 points in the group. The Croats are in the lead with an average, while Belgium is in third place with 3 points. Canada, in last place, has no points.
