Image result for de bruyne — De Bruyne was City's best player in the 2017/18 title-winning campaign.

The goal against Chelsea at Stanford Bridge last season was probably one of the best goals he had ever scored. Kevin De Bruyne can pick a pass from anywhere on the football pitch. He is a delight to work with for any centre forward because he nonchalantly finds them time and again.

Jose Mourinho failed to identify his talent at Chelsea and transferred him to Bundesliga to grow as a player, and now the Premier League is witnessing the brilliance of his man. Pep Guardiola sometimes gives him a defensive midfield role which he performs as diligently as when he his attacking. He is just 27 years old and has plenty to offer to the footballing world.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
