Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has responded to criticism that he cannot perform for his country to the same level as he does for Manchester City.
Despite winning 3-0 in their opening World Cup game against Panama, the 27-year-old failed to impress some of his country's fans.
However, De Bruyne believes that taking on a more significant role for the Red Devils will help him to improve on the international stage.
'I didn't [play to my potential for Belgium] before because I was young and I didn't have the profile I have now,' De Bruyne told RTBF.
"From now on, I have to shoulder my responsibility," the midfielder admitted, describing his new role as the "boss" of Roberto Martinez's attacking line.
Belgium will play Tunisia on Saturday in their second Group G fixture.
