According to De Busser, he was never considered good enough for the national team, as he stated in an interview with Het Nieuwsblad. "I was never good enough," he said. VoetbalPrimeur reports that De Busser's hard work and impressive performances for AZ, including playing in the Europa League for the second year in a row, have earned him a place in the national team. De Busser does not expect to play on the pitch, saying "I don't think I should count on playing minutes. The other goalkeepers are on a higher level." Belgium will face Italy in the Nations League on Friday and France on Monday.
