The “bad wave” began with the declarations of debruynethe talented player of Manchester City, who surprisingly maintained that there was “no chance” of winning the World Cup. “We are too old,” he declared.

According to his words, the train passed in 2018, when the golden generation Belgian reached the podium after losing in the semifinals against France, the champions, after eliminating Brazil in the quarterfinals.
