5 Best Belgium Players in World Cup 2022
Here we look into the top 5 Belgian players in the Belgium Potential Squad who could make a huge impact in the World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
#1 Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin De Bruyne can be the most significant player for almost any team he plays for. The Manchester City star will be the engine of the Belgium team in the FIFA World Cup.
The 31-year-old attacking midfielder is the most threatening player for his killer passes. De Bruyne has 9 assists in 10 games in the Premier League this season, and also scored a goal.
#2 Romelu Lukaku
You need someone who is physically strong up front and puts the balls into the nets. We are giving you the beastly Romelu Lukaku.
The former Inter player, who is currently on loan to Inter from Chelsea, is the go-to striker for Roberto Martinez.
Lukaku has scored a goal and an assist in 3 three matches for Inter in the Serie A this season.
#3 Leandro Trossard
Leandro Trossard has the potential and forms to hugely impact the World Cup 2022 for Belgium. The Brighton forward is in excellent touch.
He has scored 5 goals and an assist in 9 matches in the Premier League this season, including a hat-trick against Liverpool.
#4 Eden Hazard
You cannot ignore someone having the caliber of Eden Hazard. The Real Madrid forward may have been out of favor with his club, all he needs is a big stage like the World Cup to spark up.
The 31-year-old is gearing up at the right time, though. So far, he has scored a goal and an assist in 2 matches for Real Madrid in the Champions League.
#5 Thibaut Courtois
We have the big man at the back, Thibaut Courtois. The Real Madrid shot-stopper can be a wall on his day. He could make a huge impact in the World Cup 2022 for his nation.
Courtois hopes to be the first goalkeeper to win back-to-back Golden Gloves awards in the World Cup this year.
