    KING KEV | The final in-depth interview | Kevin De Bruyne reflects on Man City career



    Kevin De Bruyne has spoken of the happiness he feels about his career at Manchester City – through the good times and the bad times.

    De Bruyne was asked what he would write in a letter to the KDB that was about to walk through the doors of the Etihad 10 years ago.
    And his answer was telling, insisting ‘just do what you did!’.

    The 33-year-old enjoyed the sensational highs of lifting 19 major trophies, among them that all-important 2023 UEFA Champions League in Istanbul.

    But he also suffered devastating lows, like losing his other UCL final to Chelsea two years previously as well as failing to add his tally of honours courtesy of defeat to Crystal Palace in this past weekend’s FA Cup final.

    But through it all, KDB insists it’s been a blast.

    “I am happy with the way my life went here,” he said.
    “There are obviously ups and downs in that period, there’s success, failure, injuries, whatever.”

    “But you have to take that and also you learn from things that go hard sometimes so you can’t expect everything to go 100% all the time.”

    “So I am very happy with the way I have been as a person and a player and I would say I am still an old school football guy, I play on intuition and creativity and passion and I am happy with that.”

      Funny story-
      I had not played fifa in maybe 10 years and when I had my first born in 2015 I borrowed my brother ps3 and he had fifa 14 i was looking for Tottenham because I remember when dos santos and modric played there but I couldn’t remember. I chose City and I remember playing and hearing the commentator scream Debruynes name when I scored and I would say man this guy has a lot of qualities.
      Little did I know that from then on I would become a City fan for 10 years now!
      Has been a great run DeBruyne I will miss you & the memories y’all gave us will never be forgotten.
