Shortly after Belgium failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup group stage, coach Roberto Martinez announced his resignation. In addition, Belgium's internal situation is considered a problem in this year's tournament. Kevin de Bruyne told the press that Belgium are unlikely to win the championship because their squad is too old.
In a recent interview, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois shared about Belgium's decision to stop from the 2022 World Cup group stage. He said:
It was an unsuccessful tournament. In this World Cup and last Euro, we were not ourselves, that was a shame.
We will see what happens, who stays, who doesn't. Football, it happened very quickly. There were qualifying matches for Euro in March.
It is difficult to call the current team the golden generation, because we have not won any titles. We are not a golden generation, we are just a generation with a lot of talent and great players from all over Europe.
