Pep Guardiola gives his reaction to Man City’s 4-0 thumping of Bournemouth in the Premier League.
“Messi is on a table on his own”. No-one else is allowed, but the table beside, Kevin can sit there.
“He knows absolutely everything, he sees absolutely everything and in front of goal he makes assists and scores goals”. Some times what you do well, we win a lot of balls and could use it. could use a lot of counter-attacks. “I’m feeling good every time I play with my team-mates, playing to instruction to play good”. That is why he is a player on another level.
‘My happiness does not depend on if I am going to win all the titles or not.
“We will take care of him and I hope he will enjoy it with us to play his unbelievable football”.
The creative force behind City’s 2-1 win at Manchester United last weekend, De Bruyne ran the game at Etihad Stadium, too, opening the scoring by shooting a free kick underneath a jumping wall in the 15th minute.
The Belgian was at the centre of all City’s most exquisite moves, and his interplay with Kelechi Iheanacho, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan, who all got on the scoresheet, left Bournemouth paralysed.
“So we are who we are and we are so, so lucky we have Kevin with us”. “After that we are going to see”. Believe me, we’re going to lose. hopefully as late as possible but we will. “All the players we create more chances than the opponent, we conceded less chances than the opponent, that is the most important thing”. “But sometimes we were aggressive and we won the balls in a unsafe position for them and we could use good counterattacks to make clear chances”.
