Widely considered as one of the greatest midfielders to have ever set the ball rolling, Kevin De Bruyne is the perfect definition of what one might call a “complete footballer”. The Belgian currently plays as a midfielder for Manchester City and has emerged as the club’s most important player in recent times under the mentorship of Pep Guardiola.
De Bruyne probably makes it to the top of every football enthusiast’s list of best attacking midfielders in the world as of 2022. Under Guardiola, the 30-year old Belgian has transformed into a midfielder who possesses every single ability you would want to see in an attacking midfielder. What makes Man City so good has everything to do with the tactics that their genius coach brings into each of their Premier League games, and I think it would be more than fair to say that De Bruyne is Man City’s engine and mastermind.
Kevin De Bruyne brings a lot of his creativity and intelligence on the pitch, in addition to his artistry when it comes to creating chances or finding the back of the net by making late runs from behind, straight into the penalty area. A creative genius, most defenders find it exceedingly difficult to disable the Belgian’s accuracy as a set-piece taker as well.
Genk: De Bruyne transferred from Gent to Genk in 2005 and was promoted to the first team squad in 2008. His first-team debut with Genk came on 9th May 2009 in what transpired to be a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Charleroi.
International debut: De Bruyne’s debut with the Belgian senior squad came on 11th August, 2010 in an international friendly fixture against Finland in Turku. The match resulted in a 1-0 loss for the Belgians.
