I already did that to the team at half time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot repeat that in the media but it has to be better in every way. If the standard we want to reach is the best, but we\u2019re no longer good enough to get to that level, then you have to give everything. If you don\u2019t even do that, it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can accept that we\u2019re not as good as in 2018,\u201d the 33-year-old De Bruyne said of the side that reached the World Cup semifinals in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was the first to see that, but other things are unacceptable. I\u2019m not going to say what.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But pressed in the interview he did point out one problem. \u201cWe are too many at the back. If you stay with six at the back, there is no connection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is what it is. It is not about transition, but about people who do not perform their tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coach Domenico Tedesco said he understood De Bruyne\u2019s anger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is our captain and has a huge winning mentality, so he can also react emotionally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Belgium made a lively start to the game but were quickly overwhelmed by a superior France, who bounced back from last week\u2019s loss to Italy in Paris to win comfortably.<\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
