Speaking on the team's underwhelming start, De Bruyne was blunt about the defensive lapses and mental lapses that have plagued their performances. “We made some silly mistakes, and we put a lot of pressure on ourselves,” De Bruyne told Gazzetta. “Against Iran, we took many shots, and let’s be honest, we were also a bit lucky with that offside call on Taremi’s goal. More balance is needed, and we need to avoid negative thoughts from arising. We’ll have to talk to find the way.”
