Belgium defender Jan Vertonghen appears to have sent a subtle dig in the direction of international team-mate Kevin De Bruyne after his questionable comments before their 2-0 defeat by Morocco.
The chance of Belgium's status in the last 16 of the World Cup now hinges on their upcoming must-win clash against Croatia, following a dismal display that saw them be second-best to their Group F opponents Morocco for near enough the entire tie. Roberto Martinez's men now sit third in their group, a point behind both Croatia and their opponents on Sunday afternoon.
After the clash, central defender Vertonghen told the media: "I guess we attack badly because we are also too old up front." The comments make for interesting reading, but it seems as if they are a reference to remarks made by De Bruyne before their second group stage clash.
