Manchester City for the rest of your life! De Bruo's underwear returned home to express his good wishes, and he and the Blue Moon Legion fulfilled each other
On November 2, Beijing time, De Bruyne, the captain of the Belgian national team and Manchester City, who was attending the youth championship in Delongen in Belgium, revealed the latest situation of his injury and expressed his willingness to end his career in Manchester City, although the Saudi giants Riyadh Victory are eyeing him. This statement is expected to make Manchester City fans very happy.
Kevin De Bruyne suffered a serious injury this season, playing just one Community Shield game for Manchester City and a Premier League half. Without him, Manchester City have struggled in attack and have now lost two games in the Premier League and are third in the table. The attackers in the frontcourt, including Haaland, probably miss the precise passing from Tintin's divine perspective.
Of course, De Bruyne, who is recovering from injury, has not been idle, having attended the 2023 Ballon d'Or ceremony and is now back in Belgium for the junior championship in Drongen. In addition, Tintin was present on Manchester City's treble tour, where more than 700 fans posed for photos with the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Super Cup trophies at Derby Elok in Ghent. And the Belgian media also seized the opportunity to interview the Manchester City captain.
When asked about the injury, De Bruyne said it was a serious injury, but the rehabilitation plan is also going well and everything is going according to plan, "I can't play football at the moment. City are in daily contact with the surgeons, Geert Declercq and liven Maesschalck. But they didn't give me a so-called timetable. ”
"The important thing is that I get 100 per cent better. There are a lot of torn parts in your muscles, and your hamstrings can be strained at any time. From the camera, it looks like a wet kitchen towel. Eventually, I did a major maintenance after 700 races, kind of like you would do with your car. ”
The Belgian midfielder's contract with Manchester City expires in the summer of 2025 and there are no talks between the two sides yet. Saudi giants Riyadh Victory, who own Cristiano Ronaldo, are very interested in signing De Bruyne, and they are willing to offer the 32-year-old Tintin an annual salary of 80 million euros, and the latter's 13 million euros after tax at Manchester City is now the team's maximum salary. It's arguably a very tempting contract, not to mention the fact that there is also Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who De Bruyne has been eager to play alongside him.
However, everyone seems to have underestimated De Bruyne's loyalty to Manchester City. Since joining in the summer of 2015, De Bruyne has spent eight years at the Etihad Stadium, scoring 96 goals and providing 153 assists in 358 games in all competitions, leading the team to 16 official trophies, including five Premier Leagues, two FA Cups, two Community Shields, five English League Cups, one Champions League and one UEFA Super Cup. In a sense, Kevin De Bruyne and Manchester City complement each other, having watched City transform from a local giants into a true giant, and he himself has grown into a super-sized midfield maestro in world football.
Manchester City have always been very professional and rational in their management of the squad, and they let go of former captain Ilkay Gundogan this summer due to a disagreement over the timing of his contract extension, while the likes of Fernandinho, Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Yaya Toure have failed to live up to the Etihad's wishes. However, if Manchester City wants to become a super giant like Real Madrid and Barcelona, rational management and strong human touch are indispensable. If you can, let Tintin be the one who will be the one to die at the Etihad.
