“My favorite Red Devil is De Bruyne. I adore his fashion.
He doesn’t dribble as well as Eden Hazard, but he still has excellent technique. He is a fantastic athlete.
For Man City, De Bruyne has had a fantastic start to the year.
In his first ten games for Pep Guardiola’s team, the former Chelsea star had eight assists.
Recall that Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has defended Jack Grealish’s contributions to the team since he signed from Aston Villa.
Grealish was acquired by the Premier League champions for £100 million last season, making him the most expensive British player ever.
The 27-year-old was substituted midweek in the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund because he had little effect on the game.
Prior to Saturday’s Premier League trip to Wolves, Guardiola fought hard for Grealish, claiming that his teammates weren’t giving him enough support.
“In the previous game, he was the lone forward to make aggressive one-on-one runs. We left him alone since he lacked colleagues in the box to produce assists.
