De Bruyne: Egypt is a Strong Team, and the Draw is a Fair Result
Kevin De Bruyne, the star of the Belgian national team, confirmed that the Egyptian team is strong and that a draw against them is a fair result.
The Belgian national team drew 1-1 against the Egyptian national team last Monday evening in the first round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.
De Bruyne said in media statements after the match: "If we look at the events of the match, we will find that a draw is a good result. Perhaps Egypt was slightly better in the first half, but we corrected things well in the second half."
He added: "The draw is a fair result considering the course of the match. We know what we will do next, and things are going well."
"Football is witnessing an amazing development, as all teams have become better and stronger, even the lower-ranked teams have become more organized."
De Bruyne continued his speech: "Egypt is a strong team that consistently competes in the Africa Cup of Nations, and they have many outstanding players who demonstrated that against us."
He concluded: "For me, I played a good match against Egypt and had some scoring opportunities, but I wasn't fortunate enough to succeed."
