🇧🇪🎙️ Kevin De Bruyne on Conte:
"It was difficult for me because Conte has a very different vision of football than I do, we shouldn’t beat around the bush about that. I was never really able to play in my natural position. That’s just how it is. I always gave 100%. I played quite a lot, even after the injury, so for me it’s okay.
"We play in a very defensive way. If you score one goal per game while playing in a 5-4-1 system… that’s limiting. At the start of the season, we also played very, very deep. Our top scorer only has 10 goals, so yes, the statistics aren’t great, but in terms of the overall level and quality of football, I thought it was fairly good.
"Am I happy that Conte is leaving? For me, yes. For me, he shouldn’t stay. Am I staying? I think it’s important to talk about the way football is played. This year I realized that the style of football is very important to me. It has to remain enjoyable, and unfortunately I missed that a bit."

Rooney and Keane have calling him the best PL midfielder ever, their players dream of playing of with him and call him the best they’ve ever played again
When KDB motored thru that Klopp midfield late in the match, was falling off-balance to his left, but plucked out that perfectly weighted weak foot thru ball. It wasn’t even an assist but that was when it was confirmed that I was watching a greatness that I’d never seen before.
Kevin De Bruyne had an accidental collision with Giovanni Di Lorenzo. Di Lorenzo came through unharmed and De Bruyne fortunately did not suffer any fractures, only a cut that required four stitches which made him miss the game against Bologna
Look at that. In a sea full of Barca and Madrid is 1 man. 1 man who showed up for a tiny little team when it mattered most. Mr. Kevin De Bruyne we owe everything to you.
