Kevin De Bruyne admits 'frustration' at difference between Man City and Belgium

Kevin De Bruyne has admitted he can become frustrated by the time it takes to adapt to playing alongside his international teammates having spent most of his time playing alongside his Manchester City teammates.

De Bruyne cut a frustrated figure during Belgium's World Cup opener on Wednesday, as his side laboured to an undeserved 1-0 win against Canada. John Herdman's side - appearing at a World Cup for the first time since 1986 - dominated large chunks of the games, particularly in the first half when they overran Belgium in midfield.

The City star was visibly frustrated with his and his teammates' performance and was involved in heated discussions with defender Toby Alderweireld and manager Roberto Martinez.
