De Bruyne: The kids want me to keep the house in Manchester, and there is probably another home here

May 29th, Manchester City's official magazine interviewed the departing captain De Bruyne in June and talked about how Manchester has become an indispensable part of his life in the past 10 years.

"What will I miss here? I think it's probably all aspects of life. My wife and family now have a better understanding of the decisions I made and how things will change in the future. This is actually a good thing. We are used to life here and have everything sorted out, but it's not easy to change, especially when you have children, everything is unknown for the future, so there is something really difficult in this regard."

The de Bruyne family currently has no plans to sell a house in Manchester: "We don't know what will happen in the future, but my children want to keep the house, so we can I will stay there, so my answer now is that we will probably have a home here. "

" When you play for one of the best clubs in the world, it is natural to fall in love with everything here. The club helps you arrange everything in order and people are always happy to help you. Life here is also very suitable for my family, and although others may not feel it, we feel comfortable, and all of this fits perfectly with our lives."

De Bruyne left many memorable moments on the court, but the very "special" moment happened without touching the ball. After tearing his hamstrings, the doctor described his hamstring as fragile like a "wet tissue", and De Bruyne was truant for six months. And when he returned to the stadium and began to warm up, the entire Etihad audience spontaneously stood up and cheered for him, and the applause lasted for several minutes.

Recalling its scene that day, De Bruyne said: "That will always be a big moment in my life, when I was absent from the game for six months, and then I saw everyone's support for me, which is really wonderful and I will never forget."

For often regarded as a legend with Manchester City "King Colin "Colin Bale-like character, De Bruyne said: "It is an honor to be comparable to Colin Bale, because he has his own stands, statues and other monuments, which shows his importance to the club."

" Because he was a player who played for the club a long time ago, I didn't see many scenes of his game, but I've seen his son Jon several times, he is a good person. When talking about his father, he always has a lot of respect, so it's really a privilege to be comparable to him. But after all, everyone is an independent individual, and we have made a lot of contributions to the club, which is the most important thing."

Playing for Manchester City for 10 years, De Bruyne has also witnessed the departure of many legends. He was asked if he thought he would become one of them one day? What kind of wealth do you think you will leave for the club? He replied: "Have I ever thought about this moment? Actually, not. I have been busy playing football and never really thought about this question. I have never thought about what would happen in the last home game, or how my wife and children would feel."

"I just want to enjoy this game, nothing else, try to play well and win, enjoy that moment, and I do it. More than 50,000 people stayed to say goodbye to me, which means a lot to me. I think when I get old or retired, I will think of what I have done in the past decade, and I will also think of people's gratitude for me."

Finally, I was asked if I could wear the Manchester City jersey again When recalling a certain moment, De Bruyne paused and quickly replied: "Maybe there are two special moments, I will choose the goal I scored at the Bernabeu vs. Real Madrid for many reasons. The other is against Villa in 2022, we reversed under two goals and finally won the Premier League championship 3-2."

"The feeling of that game is something I have never experienced in my life, and it is hard to describe it in words - it's crazy, you have to be on the scene to understand. The passion of that moment cannot be explained clearly to those who have not experienced it, and I will relive that feeling over and over again. Everything is very beautiful, I am proud of what happened, and it is incredible."
