The talented is concerned the Belgium team does not become another wasted England golden generation team.

“We know what we are. We are good players, we all play in the big games in England, in Italy and in Spain,” he said.
“10 years or 15 years ago, you had this ‘Golden Generation’ in England but you won nothing. Now I think the fans, journalists, all of Belgium, the country just wants to win something.
“We have a ‘Golden Generation’ – we just want to win something now. Can we be different to England? Maybe, maybe, we will see.”
Belgium comfortably defeated Egypt 3-0 on Wednesday and will now face Costa Rica in their final warm-up match on Monday night.
