How would you rate Belgium’s World Cup campaign? The angles are many. Some considered the Red Devils one of the contenders for the trophy, but those people lived in a dreamworld. Too many players past their peak, too many stars who have lost their hunger. Belgium didn’t even make it out of their group. And what has the press done? They blamed Youri Tielemans.##NAJAVA_MECA_6864271##It’s a result which has already cost Roberto Martinez his job, even though the Spaniard insists the decision was made before the tournament began and has led to a lot of retrospection in Belgium.While Romelu Lukaku is bearing the brunt of the blame after his litany of misses against Croatia, he is not the only one in the group facing criticism.Several of Belgium’s big-name players failed to turn up in their three games, and Leicester’s Tielemans was one of them, failing to showcase himself ahead of the January transfer window.Tielemans needs to retire after this cos ain’t no way 😭 pic.twitter.com/j08xL1RS1Y— ScHoolBoy T (@MT_Prxphet) November 23, 2022 Belgian website Voetbal Nieuws slated the Foxes midfielder, giving him a rating of just 3/10.”Tielemans is the biggest disappointment at the Devils. His match against Canada was completely inadequate, and in his substitute against Croatia, he only ran alongside Witsel. You expect more from someone with his qualities. A three out of ten.”Tielemans is a player who will be Belgium’s key player in the forthcoming years. Unlike Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Axel Witsel, Jan Vertonghen and the rest of the old guard, who seem destined for a retirement home.
