Pep Guardiola knows and understands what he needs this season, it's been a rough season for Manchester City but they can prevail above all obstacles and stil remain at their peak, not this season. Manchester City will always come out ontop each time they're playing elite club. We've come to witnessed the high level performance of the club, how they're able to win trophies and record streak winnings ratio. I wonder what will happen to the club when Kelvin De Bruyne decides to exits the club. We know alot will happen during his absence in the squad. We're acquainted with the performing levels exerted by the Belgium international. Kelvin De Bruyne is recognized in the club and respected by his teammates and his head coach.
Yes it looks Pep Guardiola knows exactly what he wants to achieve with Manchester City this season. Even though they have some tough times people still strongly believe they can get through anything and stay at very high level. You think this might not be season where they are absolute best but it is clear that they always play very well against top teams. Fact is that they have won many trophies and have long periods of winning many games in row shows just how good they are.
Kevin De Bruyne has huge effect on team and when he was not there it will definitely make difference. As you said we all know how incredibly well he plays for both his club and his country. Fact is that his teammates and his coach Guardiola respect him so much shows how important he is. So when he does leave it will be big problem for Manchester City to deal with.
