Supporters of Manchester City have voiced their discontent with Belgium manager, Roberto Martinez's handling of Kevin De Bruyne.
This is coming after the Belgium coach played a far from fit De Bruyne in a quarter-final clash against Italy.
The subsequent discoveries on Kevin De Bruyne's injury have led many Manchester City fans to call for the sack of the Belgium manager.
Details of Kevin De Bruyne's injury
The Manchester City player endured a rip on his ankle ligament in the round of 16 tie against Portugal.
That notwithstanding, it was only a few days later before De Bruyne featured in the quarter-final clash against Italy.
It was written all over that the midfielder was not 100% fit in the clash against Italy. However, the manager still left him on the pitch for the full duration of the match.
Without a doubt, Roberto Martinez still naming Kevin De Bruyne in the starting lineup was a classical display of poor managerial competence.
Reasons for an extra uproar
Roberto Martinez actions were further criticized due to the condition of Kevin De Bruyne before the Euro competition.
The Manchester City talisman was a doubt for the competition after he had his nose fractured by Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger.
Adding to the aforementioned details, De Bruyne made a statement insisting that it was a bit supernatural to have played against the Italian national team.
Reaction from Manchester City fans
It was an all angered atmosphere when Manchester City fans expressed their views on the game.
A good number expressed hatred for the Belgium manager, while others insisted he should be sacked.
Conclusion
Without a doubt, starting an unfit Kevin De Bruyne was a poor decision by Roberto Martinez.
Nevertheless, the deed has been done. It now remains for Kevin to regain full fitness and get ready for the new Premier League season.
