Presenter Maarten Breckx wanted to know from Marc Degryse whether the Red Devils are being judged too critically during the preview of the Belgium-Estonia match. No, thought Degryse, because he noticed that the players are also critical of their own performance. “Kevin De Bruyne said he expected more even in Russia and the Nations League was a disappointment,” he said in the studio. “I also thought the first half against France was the best we’ve seen in five years, but a game lasts 90 to 95 minutes. It cannot be that the difference between the first and second half is so great with a team that plays five major tournaments in a row. That is something for a team that is just coming to watch. Martínez dwells too much on the positive – we have to learn from the mistakes and do better. He always comes out with the fact that we have been number one in the world for three years now. Then we have to set the bar high, right?”
