The soap opera of Belgium's 'Louis Vuitton generation': accusations, players without speaking and skirt troubles

The last great batch of Belgian footballers was baptized in their country as the 'Louis Vuitton generation': exquisite, delicate and capricious.

Very different from the fierce of the

or

that reached the semifinals of Mexico, in 1986, at the expense of Spain, but which the current one finally surpassed with third place in Russia 2018. Both fell against the ones that would be champions, Argentina and France, respectively.

The record position reached in the last edition of the World Cup redeemed them in some way against the state of opinion in their country, but in Qatar the self-destructive tendency of a group loaded with egos, reproaches and controversial characters has been revived.

The defeat against Morocco leads them, today, to a final at the Ahmad bin Ali stadium against Croatia in

, the representation of the complete opposite.

The tensions were simmering forever, but what

said in an interview in 'The Guardian' brought them back to the epidermis: "Too old" to win the World Cup.

The bomb was lit and only the detonator was missing.

Morocco triggered it.

The fall caused the outburst, arguments between

,

and De Bruyne himself.

, according to sources from the newspaper 'L'Equipe', tried to mediate in the situation.

Vertonghen, defender, would have replied to De Bruyne that the forwards are also old, according to the same leaks.

The story spread through the networks and the captains ordered the hunt for the mole.

In front of the journalists,

He said that it was a regular meeting and that it was all an invention, but added: "If we find the person who told it, he will not play for the national team again."

If there was a mole, there was a case.

Courtois's statement was that of the person in charge.

Presumably the coach does.

, yesterday, seconded it: "It's all a lie, the one who invented the story is a genius."

A day before he had said that all families have tensions.

, who appeared with the coach, said that "there were no insults."

"It was a normal meeting," he added.

OF BRYUNE AND COURTOIS

De Bruyne has something of

, of a madman with red hair.

He has grown up with

at City, coach and therapist, and Roberto Martínez would like to be Guardiola.

Determined in the field, he has an elusive, controversial character, which has already caused the foster family in which he was during his training period away from his parents to refuse to allow him to return in the second year after a vacation .

"Because you are the way you are," his mother told him, adding: "You have to change."

De Bruyne refused, but at the same time conspired to achieve his goal, despite his physical weakness in his youth.

He is the great player that he wanted to be and the same kid that he was.

Money, pressure and fame do not help to liquefy the edges.

On the contrary.

During training, if he considers that a teammate is not up to his level or something is wrong with the team, he has no problem telling Guardiola, at City, like Roberto Martínez.

The others know it.

Those who saw the defeat against Morocco and his tense dialogue with Aderweireld, too.

De Bruyne and Courtois have no relationship, they barely speak to each other, except for what is strictly necessary on the pitch.

The reason is not in training or match situations, but in the fact that the former partner of the City player,

, made a trip to Madrid that led to a relationship with the goalkeeper, when he was an Atlético footballer.

At the time, Courtois's wife, Marta, was pregnant.

She had one of her children,

, after leaving him.

Since then, their relationships gave a lot to the 'couché' role.

The personal rivalries continue.

Lukaku, who has not been able to establish himself in any elite club for a long period, has a bad relationship with

, and something similar happens between Eden Hazard and

.

The situation of the Madrid player has been one of the problems for Roberto Martínez, stubborn in his recovery.

He often says that his problem is that he has to be happy, something impossible without being in shape.

He insists on the same for his selection, which he orders to have fun.

Croatia, which he needs to win, is not kidding.
