De Bruyne and Belgium will kick-off their FIFA World Cup campaign with a clash against Canada on November 24.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking ahead of the tournament, Kompany said De Bruyne can win the Ballon d\u2019Or but advised him to do so before Mbappe and Haaland go on a winning spree. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, it\u2019s still a team effort to get to those closing stages, but De Bruyne is an important player for Belgium. He has been involved in the Ballon d\u2019Or vote for a few years now and he can win it. He is at his peak. But if I was Kevin &#8211; or any player hoping to win the Ballon d\u2019Or &#8211; I would get in there now. He needs to win it before Haaland and Mbappe start,\u201d said Kompany.<\/p>\n<p>Kompany also spoke about Belgium\u2019s golden generation that includes players like De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois and Toby Alderweireld. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople talk about this Golden Generation &#8211; but they go into the tournament with the perspective of having the next Golden Generation. There is definitely enough talent there. This team could be a little bit in the middle of those two generations. Whether it\u2019s too late or too early, we don\u2019t know,\u201d Kompany added.<\/p>\n<p> Kompany added that Belgium have game-changers in their team and those players will be vital in tough matches in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing is for sure, Belgium have game-changers &#8211; and in any big competition you need game-changers. If you get Brazil or whoever somewhere down the line, and someone needs to put that ball in the back of the net, you need those game-changers. Belgium have got that. They have got experience &#8211; and they\u2019ve got a coach they have worked with for a long time. So in terms of team cohesion, they have some real advantages,\u201d said Kompany.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-99cc083358cc2e2d Story_authors__container__i9YKo\">\n<div class=\"jsx-99cc083358cc2e2d Story_authors__by__MnMLD\">\n<p>Edited By: <\/p>\n<p>Rounaq Sehrawat<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-99cc083358cc2e2d Story_published__on___89yu\">\n<p>Published On: <\/p>\n<p>Nov 19, 2022<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/sports\/football\/story\/kevin-de-bruyne-needs-to-win-ballon-dor-before-erling-haaland-and-kylian-mbappe-start-says-vincent-kompany-2299406-2022-11-19?utm_source=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Former Belgium and Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has offered Ballon d&#8217;Or advice to Kevin De Bruyne saying he needs to win before Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe start winning the award.
