Creativity, effort, consistency and precision. His passing is above everyone else's and that can make quite the difference. He really is the engine of the Manchester City game in both directions. Whether they attack or defend, De Bruyne is present at all times and decides whether to speed up the game or be calm in a certain situation. With Gundogan and De Bruyne being gone both at once, this specific kind of character is missing in the team at the moment.
Most or everyone will definitely admit this and understand how de Bruyne contributed to Man City. Unless it's haters. It cannot be denied that de Bruyne's position and abilities cannot be completely replaced so far. However, Man City actually also has quite good supporting players. So at least when de Bruyne suffers an injury and also has a long recovery period, their performance can still be good, even though there may still be something missing. And the problem is when de Bruyne returns to the team, can he be as optimal as before> Because after all, the performance of a player who has just suffered a long injury due to an injury that can be said to be quite serious, will usually have an impact on his performance again.
So maybe this will also be a consideration for Man City in the future.
Pep Guardiola was very unlucky during this season in Manchester City.
We know Kevin De Bruyne was one of the most important players in Manchester City but this player was injured hard at the start of the reason which damaged the whole team.
Now while we are on FIFA day, Ederson and Mateo Kovačić both are injured and this is bad news for Guardiola because they are going to have hard games against Tottenham and Liverpool soon.
That's something common in the football. You must be fully prepared with that kind of situation. We can't predict which player that is going to get serious injury. That's why pep must have prepared a back up once its key player will be injured.
This is how important to have someone who is having almost similar performance like de bruyne. None was willing to lose de bruyne but this is not predictable. Many city fans are feeling disappointed with the serious injury that happened to the de bruyne but they must accept the reality.
De bruyne will able to come back again next year. We can only be patience waiting for him to recover from his serious injury. This is the main problem owned by the club.
Pep is also trying to regenerating the old players. THat's why he is not has been building a plan to get replacement for some old players like kyle walker. Let's wait what kind of surprises that will come from him during winter transfer season.
