Midfielder Belgium national team player Kevin De Bruyne believes that his team created enough chances in the match with Ukraine (0:0) in the final round of group E on European Championship 2024.
“We started well, but after half an hour problems started. In the second half, the opponent had some chances. In the last 15 minutes, they understood that Ukraine would put pressure and attack, so they pressed against their own goal and waited for counterattacks. In the last 15 minutes we tried to keep the ball. on the other half of the field and play there.”
“No, I don’t agree that we didn’t have the desire to go forward. We tried to attack, but the Ukrainians defended well. We created more chances than Ukraine. I understand that you will try to provoke me. Good try.”
“Did Ukraine try to attack more often? It was she who played five defenders? Well, you’ve answered the question.”
“We had a few good chances, Romelu Lukaku attacked, there were a few more chances. Therefore, I think we performed well offensively.”
The captain of the Belgian national team created several dangerous moments for his partners in the match with Ukraine, but the Belgians failed to capitalize on them. After the meeting, De Bruyne was recognized as the best player of the match.
The Ukrainian national team remained in fourth place in Group E and was eliminated from Euro 2024. For the first time in the history of the European Championship, a team with four points took last place in its quartet. The Belgians took second place and will play France in the quarter-finals.
