Passionate about sports, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with a keyboard in his hand than with a ball at his feet, he decides to mainly cover a sport that is both adored, criticized and hated (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
Still struggling offensively, Les Bleus had to wait for Jan Vertonghen’s own goal in the 85th minute to beat Belgium in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 (1-0). At the end of the match, it was a frustrated Kevin De Bruyne who appeared before the press, particularly annoyed by a journalist’s question.
The Belgium did not take his revenge. While the players still had in mind the victory of the Blues in the semi-final of the 2018 World Cup, it was once again Didier Deschamps’ gang who won at the end of a less than memorable match thanks to a goal from Jan Vertonghen against his own camp a few minutes before the end of regulation time (1-0). Enough, once again, to frustrate the Belgians.
” Stupid ! “
Kevin De Bruyne In particular, he had difficulty hiding his annoyance in response to a question from the journalist. Tancredi Palmeri“Why didn’t Belgium’s golden generation win anything?” he asked the player. Manchester City“Do you think that France, England, Spain and Germany do not have a golden generation?” replied De Bruyne before walking off and calling the reporter stupid.
“Hey Kevin, a little memo for you”
If he didn’t have the opportunity to respond at the time, Tancredi Palmeri later reacted on his X account. “Hey Kevin, a little memo for you: the golden generation you mentioned, namely France, England, Germany and Spain, have ALL REACHED A FINAL! The usual footballer who only wants questions that tell him how good he is,” the journalist lamented, adding in another message: “Journalism is all about asking unpleasant questions. Mine, asked of Kevin De Bruyne, was even obvious: why do we always talk about Belgium? There are only a few journalists who do not consider this a good question. It says a lot about how many people think that being a journalist is about pleasing a fandom.”
