Graeme Souness SLAMS Kevin De Bruyne as he accuses Belgium star of causing rift in World Cup squad with ‘too old’ claim

Graeme Souness has blasted the star for his pre-tournament comments

Romelu Lukaku missed a host of chances and was spotted in tears being consoled by coach Thierry Henry after the full-time whistle.

That came amid rumours of several rows and rifts in the Belgian camp throughout the World Cup in Qatar.

Discussing De Bruyne’s remarks on ITV, Souness said: “Totally unnecessary.

“You gain nothing. If that’s your thoughts, then keep them to yourself.

“That would not have spread a happy atmosphere inside the camp.

“Why he’s chosen to do that, only he can tell you.”;

De Bruyne was referring to Belgium’s so-called “Golden Generation”; – which included a host of stars such as Eden Hazard, Dries Mertens and Jan Vertonghen all being over 31.

And the playmaker, who is 31 himself, could have contributed to the reported disharmony in the dressing-room with his comments.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP

Following the defeat to Morocco in their second game, Hazard told reporters: “We probably also attack badly because we are too old, that must be it now, surely?”;

It was Morocco who ended up topping the group while Croatia took second spot at the expense of the Belgians.
