The club season is over, but there is no rest for the best in the world. The League of Nations will start this week, then the season will start soon because the Winter World Cup will cause big changes in the calendar. The champion of England with Manchester City, and the first star of the Belgian national team, Kevin De Bruyne is not happy about it, and he doesn’t hide it.„For me, the Nations League is not important. We have to play these games, but it feels like a campaign of friendly games. Just glorified friendlies after a long and tough season. I’m not looking forward to it“ said City’s captain. Meet the Premier League’s most ineffective players of the seasonAnd someone may complain, but the fact is: the players are exhausted, psychologically exhausted and few believe that we will watch the best football at the League of Nations matches. Especially because all the teams will play four games in the space of ten days.”In 12 months we have three weeks of holiday. The people from the outside do not understand how a player feels after a season. But they don’t have to because it won’t change anything. It doesn’t even matter to mention it, nothing will change anyway” said the Belgian international.(2.35) BELGIUM (3.40) NETHERLANDS (3.25)And he knows this from his own example. Last season, after his Champions League final, in which he injured his eye socket, he immediately went to EURO 2022 where he suffered an ankle injury. He played it through and ended up a couple of months on the sidelines. De Bruyne and Belgium will begin their Nations League campaign against Nathan Ake’s Netherlands on Friday, June 3, before facing Poland at home on June 8. Belgium will then face Wales in Cardiff on June 11 before travelling to Warsaw to take on Poland again on June 14.
