The Belgian national team started the World Cup with a difficult victory against Canada on Wednesday.

After the successful match, one of the leaders of the Belgian national team Kevin De Bruyne was awarded the best player of the match prize. However, such an award surprised the "Manchester City" football player himself.

"I don't think I played a good match. I don't understand why I was given this prize. Maybe it's because of my well-known name," K. De Bruyne sharply commented after the match.

Belgium will play their second match in the tournament already on Sunday, when they will compete against Moroccan footballers.
