Micah Richards praisesDe Bruyne as complete footballer

Posted on February 17, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has labelled Kevin De Bruyne as the complete footballer that he has ever seen in the Premier League. The Belgian midfielder was once again at his best in Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday. This was a monumental win for Pep Guardiola’s team, who had been suffering from poor form coming into this match. However, City were able to brush aside Chelsea with a comfortable win with De Bruyne playing a crucial role. The Belgian came up with a goal and an assist in this victory, which increases the pressure on Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.

 

After having picked up the PFA Player of the Year title back in 2019-20 season,De Bruyne is back helping City stay in contention for the league title once again. Richards, who used to play for City, has claimed thatDe Bruyne is one of the top midfielders for various reasons. Apart from contributing to the team in an offensive display,De Bruyne is also crucial at the back according to Richards. Even thoughthe likes of Sergio Aguero have been missing for City for quite a while, the team has remained in contention for the league title thanks to the efforts ofDe Bruyne. Other star players on the team include Phil Foden, who has started playing an influential role in the club at the age of 20. Continue reading →

Guardiola confident of Aguero returning back to his best

Posted on December 11, 2020 by | Leave a comment

 

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is convinced that striker Sergio Aguero will be the same player once he comes back from his injury problems. The 32-year-old has only featured in 26 league matches the start of last season. A number of fitness problems have cropped up for the striker, who is arguably one of the best in the Premier League. In his absence, City have failed to exert any dominance in the league and they have seen Liverpool pip them to the title last season.Even though Gabriel Jesus has managed to provide a good understudy, the return of Aguero is keenly awaited by Guardiola and those at Manchester City.

Aguero is the top scorer for City in all competitions. There have been very few players who have been able to better his goal tally in the last five years. Since 2015, Aguero has come up with 102 goals – a tally which is beaten only by Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy who have scored 126 and 106 goals respectively. However, there are a lot of concerns about Aguero this time around, as he is coming towards the twilight of his career. The striker has made a successful return from injury on a couple of occasions, but he has went back to the treatment table at the same speed. Yet, Guardiola is not concerned about these problems.
