“Kevin, does it hurt you that the golden generation once again didn’t reach the final?”; “What is a golden generation?”; “Yours!”; “And you say that France, England, Spain, Germany don’t have a golden generation?”. Kevin De Bruyne has just been eliminated from the European Championship, with his Belgium team beaten 1-0 by France (Vertonghen’s own goal was decisive). Another great tournament that ends too soon for the midfielder, champion of everything with Manchester City but once again he was left dry in the national team despite expectations. Disappointed and frustrated by the performance, De Bruyne responded a little annoyed to journalist Tancredi Palmeri’s question (Sportitalia), only to then leave the mixed zone whispering a «stupid» which however was well heard.
“De Bruyne is a spoiled child”
In short, De Bruyne did not take Palmeri’s question well, who then commented on what happened on his social media pages, where the video of the exchange quickly went viral: «My question to him was even obvious, it is a recurring theme when talking about Belgium”. Then the journalist addressed the player directly: “De Bruyne just called me stupid. Hey Kevin, a little reminder for you: the golden generation you mentioned, France, England, Germany and Spain, all reached a final. Usual footballer who only wants questions to hear how good he is. Spoiled child”
