Pep Guardiola has urged the Belgian midfielder to continue getting better and improve the basics of his game.
Man City thrashed RB Leipzig 7-0 last night and De Bruyne was one of the best performers in that game.
De Bruyne had a few below-par performances in the past even though he leads the Premier League assists chart with 13.
But Guardiola reiterates that he can always rely on the 31-year-old midfielder and has urged him to continue to improve.
“Kevin is a player for the dynamics. If he doesn’t have the dynamic or movements he is not a player like can play there,” Guardiola explained.
Building from Bernardo, Erling. Intensity we have, this is the player we know. I know Kevin can’t play all the time in that position. You have to understand his quality. When it happens, the assists come free, the goals come free.
“[But] he doesn’t do that after the amount of balls he lost to give up transitions for the opponents [in previous games]. He doesn’t make assists or goals.
