The presence of De Bruyne in Manchester City midfield makes everything easier, without this Belgian player, Manchester City performance is not optimal. Pep Guardiola himself quite often praises De Bruyne performance, and admits that his influence in Manchester City midfield, his role is difficult for other players to replace. It is true, Pep Guardiola is trying to build a collective squad, with even quality players, but this cannot deny the contribution made by De Bruyne so far. Apart from that, Rodri also played an important role last season. In my opinion, Manchester City balance and consistency are supported by these two players, so that Halaand and Foden can appear sharp on the front lines. Arsenal certainly always hopes that Pep Guardiola squad experiences setbacks, thereby giving them the opportunity to win trophies.
I agree with you, yes De Bruyne is really needed by Manchester City because without him of course there is something missing in Manchester City's game and he always makes Manchester City's game good. I remember when De Bruyne was injured and without him I saw something was missing if he was there. look at Manchester City's performance.
Yes, of course Rodri and De Bruyne certainly play an important role in Manchester City. Yes, it is true that if there are two of them, Foden and Haaland will be sharp in attack and ultimately make it difficult for the opposing team to be able to withstand Manchester City's attacks. but if you think about it, Manchester city has a lot of good players so it is difficult for any team, especially an EPL team, to beat them and also Pep's role is also very good because he can make Manchester City become champions and in implementing strategy he is very good so that Manchester City wins the trophy. consecutive ones.
Arsenal definitely wants Manchester City's performance to decline because Manchester City always hinders Arteta's troops' struggle to win trophies. but of course Mikel Arteta will work optimally for the coming season because of course Arsenal wants to become champions in the coming season. but certainly Pep's troops and Arteta's troops will again compete fiercely for the title.
