Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne says he plans to continue playing international football for as long as he remains motivated. Speaking ahead of the next phase of Belgium’s schedule, the 35-year-old says he has not considered quitting the national team after the World Cup, despite being among the last members of the country’s “golden generation.” De Bruyne has 124 caps after debuting in 2010 as a teenager.
In the reporting, De Bruyne’s position focuses on personal drive rather than a fixed retirement timeline. Both outlets frame his comments as a response to the idea that he might step away after the tournament cycle, with his reasoning grounded in his continued desire to contribute to Belgium. The coverage also reflects his status as a senior figure in a transitional period for the national team.
While the two sources share the same core message, they provide limited additional details beyond De Bruyne’s motivation-based outlook and his background with Belgium.
