Yesterday, Belgium qualified for the round of 16 of Euro 2024 by drawing with Ukraine. But the poor performance of the Red Devils was not appreciated by the Belgian fans. As they went to greet their supporters in front of the stand, the Tedesco players were greeted by whistles. Annoyed, Kevin De Bruyne’s partners then turned around, before heading to the locker room. This Thursday, Thomas Meunier returned to this episode at a press conference.

“It’s not that the players didn’t understand, but it was disproportionate.” For me, indifference creates much more guilt than whistles. I really felt like we were in a second case of RWDM (Molenbeek) relegated with obscene gestures, insults… it was going too far and it’s only the beginning of the competition. We’re all qualified, them and us. It seemed a bit crazy to me. We can understand that the match didn’t live up to expectations, for us too. We didn’t celebrate qualification as if we had won 3-0. It was very quiet, you would even have said that we had lost. We were as disappointed as they were. The fact of traveling, of paying a ticket offers rights, it is also sacrifices for them, money and time, but to drive 6 hours to insult the players, I do not think that it is an end that can suit everyone”he confided.
