Since the Belgian Kevin De Bruyne set foot on the floor of the “Etihad” stadium as a player in Manchester City, 7 years ago, specifically in 2015, he has drawn great attention, as a leader in the middle of the field and a visionary, who is good at creating goals for his teammates, and surpasses many players in shooting on goal. The opponent, with his right and left feet, inside and outside the region, has a great ability to make a difference in crucial moments and difficult situations.
This season in particular, De Bruyne gave an exceptional performance that deservedly earned him the title of best midfielder in the English Premier League.
More specifically, this week, he scored 4 “Super Hattrick” goals once morest Wolverhampton, in the match that ended in favor of City 5-1, including three goals with his left foot, in less than 24 minutes from the start of the match (minutes 7, 16 and 24). Then he added his fourth goal in the second half, “the 60th minute”, to become the third fastest player to score a “hat-trick” in the history of the Premier League, following Senegalese “hat-trick” Sadio Mane once morest Aston Villa in May 2015, following only 16 minutes, and “hat-trick”. Dwight Yorke once morest Arsenal in February 2001, following 22 minutes, to confirm that he is the “deadly weapon” of City, capable of scoring goals, in the absence of an explicit spearhead in the style of playing the Spanish coach Pep Guardiola.
And the funny scene in the Wolverhampton match, was that celebration that De Bruyne did following scoring his third goal, in the manner of the young Norwegian star Erling Haaland, by opening his arms, imitating him when he scored a goal, as if he was sending a message to the “golden boy”, and his tongue says to him: Ha I celebrate your arrival, Haaland, as a player in Manchester City and a colleague of ours. You are welcome with us, and the City administration announced the agreement with the Borussia Dortmund administration on Haaland’s transfer to “Blomon” this summer.
The short period that De Bruyne spent at Chelsea was not enough to judge the talent of this feat, as Jose Mourinho, coach of the “Blues” at the time, did not involve him in matches like the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, which prompted both of them to leave, the first to Wolfsburg, Germany, And the second to Italian Fiorentina, to launch both of them to new heights and put them among the best players in the world.
De Bruyne was completely confident that he would get the opportunity to confirm his worth to play for the best European teams, which he achieved by joining the “Heavenly Moon” 7 seasons ago.
Born on June 28, 1991 (30 years old), De Bruyne began his professional career in Belgium’s KR Genk from 2008 to 2012, then moved to Werder Bremen (2012-2013), then Chelsea (2013-2014) and from there to Wolfsburg (2014). -2015”, to settle in Manchester City as of 2015, and become one of the best players in the history of world football.
