Ruben Dias has admitted that he feels fortunate to be in the same team as Kevin De Bruyne.
The Manchester City centre-half described the midfield maestro as a “special talent” while speaking to FIFPRO.
After Kevin De Bruyne’s spellbinding cameo during his side’s 3-2 win against Newcastle United, Alan Shearer noticed how his teammates simply handed him the ball constantly to let him work his magic.
Ruben Dias says he is “privileged” to play with Kevin De Bruyne
Paul Dickov also described the £54 million (The Telegraph) as “absolutely ridiculous” after his masterclass on Saturday.
Ruben Dias has now expressed his admiration towards Kevin De Bruyne as he feels grateful to play alongside a player like him.
“He’s just a special talent and all he does is just breathing football and thinking differently and obviously, I’m privileged. It’s an honour to be part of the same team as him”, he told FIFPRO.
“And obviously, I’m very happy that we have this group of special and talented players because in the end, that’s what allows you to win.”
Every Manchester City player would say the same about Kevin De Bruyne
Much like Ruben Dias, one can expect every Manchester City player to feel privileged to play with Kevin De Bruyne.
Kevin De Bruyne has been dictating games while also being a reliable game-changer for nearly a decade, which makes him the complete package as an attacking midfielder.
Despite the Sky Blues’ plethora of world-class performers over the years, De Bruyne has been their one and only consistent superstar player.
And that too due to a variety of reasons rather than just possessing one truly special trait, as is the case with Erling Haaland’s incredible goalscoring ability.
As a result, every Manchester City player must feel fortunate to have played and trained with a true legend of the game like Kevin De Bruyne and rightfully so.
Luckily enough for them, De Bruyne seems to be showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
