“That was different at the end of the Martinez era,” said Vandenbempt.

“De Bruyne saw very early that things were going in the wrong direction with the national team. He then had the feeling: this national coach is not capable of dragging us through difficult periods. Despite the short period of cooperation, the interaction with Tedesco is better anyway.

“I had De Bruyne at Genk for another six months and there I saw that deep down he is just a boy who wants to play. And despite all those prizes and titles, that has not changed,” added Vanhaezebrouck.

“You have to do your best to take away his enjoyment of the game, but in Qatar I saw that happen. Too many things that he tried to raise several times were not taken into account by the coach.

“Tedesco has now made him important again and clearly listens to his playmaker. You can also see that he wants to enjoy himself again and will take the team in tow, you certainly saw that happen in the practice matches.”
