😲 Incredible run ended! Belgium superstar only on the bench v USA

😲 Incredible run ended! Belgium superstar only on the bench v USA In the lead-up to the World Cup round-of-16 clash between the USA and Belgium, almost everything revolved around the Folarin Balogun case. After his red-card suspension was lifted, the American striker has indeed made it into the starting lineup. As a result, it almost went unnoticed that Belgium coach Garcia opted for a rather surprising measure. The 62-year-old is initially leaving his superstar Kevin De Bruyne on the bench against the host nation. This brings an incredible streak to an end: after 37 consecutive starts, the Napoli playmaker has to give way to his teammates again. The last time that happened was in 2021 in the Nations League against Italy. In central midfield, Garcia is backing Aston Villa’s Amadou Onana and Rangers’ Nicolas Raskin instead of De Bruyne. Will this tactical move prove successful? This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
