Over the past 18 months is not a beautiful time with Kevin de Bruyne. He was injured, then went down to his form. Last week, the Belgian conductor posted and confirmed this was his last season with Man City, closing the 10 -year journey full of glory.
When Man City did not have Erling Haaland in the match against Crystal Palace, De Bruyne was arranged by the broadcaster in the center, along with James Mcatee and Omar Marmoush. Everyone understands that it is not the position of "Trung Kevin" but the responsibility to score is clear.
Man City was led 0-2 at home, maybe even 0-3 if Eberechi Eze did not fall into the offside position. If you lose this match, the right to self -determination in the top 5 Premier League will no longer be in the hands of Pep Guardiola's teachers and students.
After a series of dangerous opportunities to create in front of Dean Henderson's goal, when Man City fans needed the most, their captain spoke out. A precise penalty kick to every centimeter caused Palace's goalkeeper to give up.
De Bruyne's exemplary free kick is a reminder to his own teammates about the attitude of not giving up. There was a goal to shorten the gap in the first half, the defending champion team up as nothing to lose. Only 3 minutes after the goal of De Bruyne, Man City equalized with the goal of Marroush.
At the beginning of the second half, De Bruyne created for Mateo Kovacic in the 47th minute to give the home team 3-2. From then until the end of the match, Pep's team scored 2 more goals to complete the spectacular backward.
In the 87th minute, Kevin de Bruyne was drawn in the warmth of thousands of viewers at Etihad. He was the highest score by Sofascore (8.8), accompanied by a series of impressive parameters.
In the context of Erling Haaland injury, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva to form, a series of other stars are no longer himself or too young, Kevin De Bruyne himself shocked the entire champion's squad to save the opportunity to compete. If losing to Palace, Man City now only has 52 points after 32 matches and ranked in the 7th place before the match on Sunday.
"I am very happy. The score in the first 20 minutes did not reflect the performance of the team. The opponent took advantage of 2 opportunities and scored quickly.
However, the reaction of all after 2 goals is very commendable. We are forced to win matches like this. After that, it is necessary to keep the performance today and constantly moving forward. The team will have difficult times but we need to win the Champions League tickets next season. Fans deserve that.
The future is difficult to say before, but now I just want to focus on playing football and see what the final result of this season will be like ” - De Bruyne shared after the match.
De Bruyne's 10 years of glory with Man City has been repeated in the victory of Crystal Palace. When the team needed him the most, the Belgian midfielder spoke up with a superior performance. Other pillars when looking at their captain, they all have to feel ashamed of the superficial performance in recent years.
Almost alone De Bruyne retained the hope of having Champions League tickets next season for Man City, not to mention the FA Cup in the immediate future (reached the semi -finals). If this season The Citizens has a Champions League ticket next season and win the FA Cup, which will be the best goodbye for Kevin de Bruyne after a decade of dedication and have countless titles.
