1:05pm, 7 August 2025Football

Another master left the Premier League. Manchester City defeated Bournemouth 3-1 in this round. After the game, Manchester City held a home farewell ceremony for De Bruyne, and the Kings made their last appearance at Etihad today.

Since joining Manchester City, De Bruyne has helped the team win a total of 19 championships, including 1 Champions League, 6 Premier League championships, 1 Club World Cup, 2 FA Cups, 5 League Cups, 3 Community Shield Cups, and 1 UEFA Super Cup. This is the most ink-like stroke in history, which is written by him and will eventually be immortal.

An era is over. From 2015 to 25, Manchester City dominated the Premier League and won all club-level honors. The core of the team, the brain on the field, and the offensive designer are Ding Ding. De Bruyne has played for Manchester City for 10 years, which not only allows the fans of the team to gain unprecedented joy and satisfaction, but also allows those who love football to receive unparalleled visual enjoyment and artistic inspiration. In the 15-16 season, he made history with Manchester City in his first year at Manchester City, beating another rich team, Paris Saint-Germain, to the semi-finals. However, he is getting better at Manchester City and is still in the 17-18 season. That year, Manchester City was ahead of the league, and the melon-style style after fine-tuning brought rare excellent results in the Premier League, and it was an unquestionable dominant scene. They scored 100 points and beat Manchester United with an absolute advantage of 19 points. After four years, they won the league championship again. In the assist list of the season, the top four players all came from Manchester City, while De Bruyne ranked first with 16 assists.

defeated the defending champion Chelsea 1:0 away. After Guardiola emphasized that De Bruyne and Jesus collided with the wall to cooperate, they smoothly tore open the defense line of the old club and an unstoppable shot opened the Belgian midfielder's league goal account in the 17-18 season. This is Guardiola's first defeat of Chelsea, and it is also the battle for the Blue Moon to gain confidence. In less than two years, the mark of the traditional inner front on De Bruyne had completely faded, and he became increasingly adapted to the setting of "Free 8". In the 19-20 season, De Bruyne made 35 appearances in the league, scored 13 goals, assisted 20 times, and was elected the best player of the game 10 times. Among them, the 20 assists scored De Bruyne tied the single-season assist record set by Henry. In the 20-21 season, De Bruyne played 40 games for Manchester City in various competitions, scoring 10 goals and 18 assists, helping the team reach the Champions League final, and was awarded the PFA Best Player for the second consecutive year.

and then there is an unprecedented four consecutive Premier League championships. Since Opta's record (starting in the 2003-04 season), De Bruyne has created 846 opportunities for his teammates in the Premier League, and no player has more than him. Why are there so many wonderful passes? How did he do it? Run, catch the ball, pass the ball to the teammates in the open, and then continue running. Using passes to speed up the pace of the game and using active running to increase the advantage of local numbers is Guardiola's secret, and De Bruyne is the best executor of this tactic.

Don't dribble, but people control the overall situation, use predictive defense, and use passes to guide the offense. Slowly, you will find that De Bruyne is always the player with the most passing balls on the court, the highest passing success rate, and the most passing threatening balls. Whether it is Naples or Ligue 1 next, De Bruyne's magic will continue. When you come, you are upright and you are worthy of your merits when you leave. There are no scandals, no worries, only cheers. Such a player deserves the word "master".
