While many players of his vintage begin scaling back their international commitments to prolong their club careers, De Bruyne insists that his passion for pulling on the national jersey has not diminished.
Speaking on his future with the national team, the talismanic creator emphasized that his hunger to compete and guide younger teammates is what keeps him driving forward.
“No, that was never an issue for me,” he said. “The coach did ask me what I wanted to do. My feeling after the World Cup was that I had enjoyed myself. A lot of players also asked me to stay.
“I also felt physically good and still wanted to play. That’s the most important motivation. As long as I still have that motivation, why wouldn’t I continue?
