Recharged Kevin De Bruyne energises Manchester City’s four-peat bid

The Hindu  

When Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was asked early this year if his side was the favourite to win the Premier League this season, the German spoke about how tight it was at the top. He is a really important player for us, not only in the past but in the present.” While there continue to be questions about the legitimacy of City’s success — the club’s spending since Sheikh Mansour’s takeover in 2008 has repeatedly come under scrutiny, with the club facing 115 Premier League charges for alleged breaches of financial regulations — there is no denying De Bruyne’s unique gifts as a footballer. “We can play good football-wise but Kevin, Haaland, Phil, Julian — these guys win games.” De Bruyne’s ability to create situations that lead to goals is one of his super powers. Kevin is at his best when he’s on the ball playing passes that you don’t think are even visible to play.” It’s this vision — as well as the technical ability to hit a variety of perfectly weighted passes — that has helped De Bruyne become one of the Premier League’s leading providers of assists. “He’s a player that our team missed a lot because he has such ability — he finds passes that very few players can find, he gets assists, scores goals, plays good football, he keeps the ball, so I’m very happy that he’s back and that he has returned to his high level.” De Bruyne used the injury-enforced layoff to refresh himself mentally and allow the body to repair the wear and tear.
