Belgium collapsed to World Cup 2022. Thibaut Courtois said, the current Belgian team is not suitable if it is called the golden generation.
While it was filled with star players like Kevin de Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Courtois himself, Belgium’s progress was actually disappointing. The Red Devils are bogged down in the group stage after finishing in the top three at the World Cup four years ago.
Belgium even made an unconvincing start to the tournament after only narrowly winning against weak Canada 1-0. Roberto Martinez’s troops were then beaten by Morocco 0-2, before drawing against Croatia 0-0 which ensured they entered the area.
As a result, not a few consider the golden generation Belgium now it’s over. Courteous he felt the Belgian team did not fit with the title having been unable to win the title.
“It’s a bit of a shame because they call us Belgium’s golden generation when we haven’t won anything,” the Belgian goalkeeper told reporters ESPN. “We are not a golden generation, we are a generation with a lot of talent and many top players in different European clubs.”
“In Russia, in 2018, we showed that we are a Belgian team that plays good football. At this World Cup and at the European [2020] We are not ourselves,” Courtois continued.
Courtois will be 34 when the 2026 World Cup is held in the United States. The Real Madrid goalkeeper still has ambitions to reappear.
“We’ll see what happens, who stays, who ends their career. I really want to play in the World Cup [selanjutnya]sure,” he said Thibaut Courtois.
