#KevinDeBruyne #StevenGerrard #FootballComparison #SoccerLegends #PremierLeague #ManchesterCity #LiverpoolFC #MidfieldMasters
Kevin De bruo is the face of the Premier League he is the best player on the best team that England has ever seen two time Premier League player of the year three time playmaker of the Season Three Time footballer of the year he is the complete package as the modern name
Midfielder just like Steven Gerard but what if I told you there was a time where people questioned if de brona could even compete in England’s top division what if I told you he only played three games for Chelsea before being pushed out of the Premier League
So how did Kevin De brona go from being labeled as a premier league reject to becoming the greatest midfielder the league has ever seen let me let me let me let me talk whenever people would make their all-time best Premier League 11 the Midfield would be some variation
Of Gerard Lampard skulls Vieira and Roy King but I think it’s time to start adding de bruyne to that conversation in fact for me he should be starting he is the the main reason that Manchester city has been able to win five Premier League titles in the last six seasons DNA has
Won more Premier League titles than Gerard and even Lampard and Vieira his stats are on the same level as other grade midfielders who have played in this league in fact I can even make an argument that de brona has been far more consistent as good as Jared was at
Scoring and assisting his best statistical seasons were often years apart Jed popped off in the 2008 2009 season as well as the 2013 2014 season but that’s about it meanwhile de bruyne has had double digit assists five times in his last eight seasons in the Premier
League with him only missing out on the other three seasons due to injury he had 65 goals and 105 assists in 241 appearances just in the Prem and his numbers will continue to go up as he is still playing the efficiency is crazy when you compare how many games de brua
Has played to how many Gerard has de bruyne’s individual awards are also higher he has two Player of the Year Awards Jared has one and Lampard has zero guys like keen and skols I don’t like to compare too much cuz they played a completely different role in Midfield
Than de bruyne but even those guys weren’t able to win five League titles in six years at Manchester United Lampard has only won three Premier League titles gerro doesn’t even have one so why is De bruyne not talked about as much as these other Legends and I
Will ask this question again and you guys let me know in the comments why is De bruyne not talked about as much well when de bruo first joined Manchester City in 2015 2016 they were good but they were not at their Peak yet they had won two titles before but their true
Dominance didn’t start until Kevin De bro’s arrival de bruo was signed for a record fee of €75 million the second most expensive transfer in British football history of the time behind anel De Maria’s move to Manchester United people were skeptical of the signing while he had absolutely dominated the
Bundesliga with Wolfsburg there were still questions on whether he could Main maintain that level of form in the Premier League many still saw him as a premier league reject after he failed at Chelsea de brua had joined Chelsea to be in the starting 11 yet immediately he
Was placed on the bench he only made three appearances before being dropped by Jose Mourinho what made the situation even worse was Mourinho publicly stated that he didn’t like the way de bryo was playing in games and the way he looked in training and now we are speaking
About Kevin the brunes you are interested in the players that are not playing was my decision only 11 can play and 18 to be on on to be selected this was probably the most difficult part of De bruyne’s career but things began to change when he joined Manchester City
His first season at City he had 16 goals and 13 assists showing up in massive moments he scored the winner against Sevilla in the Champions League to take City within one point of group leaders Juventus in December he scored a brace against Hall City to send Manchester
City into the semifinals of the football leagues cup just a month later he scored in that semi-final against Everton de brono was in incredible form but suddenly he got injured City fans were scared I mean they just watched their big money signing get injured in the most important part of the Season
Luckily de bruo was only out for 2 months and when he came back from injury it was like he never left he put together two massive performances against PSG in the Champions League quarterfinals now to give you guys some context the champions league is an area where City really struggled despite the
Amount of success they had domestically they could never continue their good form into Europe this season’s Champions League campaign was even more important because they were doing horribly in the league this was the season that Lester won the Prem and Manchester City were fourth by the way when you understand
The situation and the desperation that City faced it makes you realize just how clutch Kevin De Bruno’s performance was in the first leg at the park dep prants kdb scored the opening goal in a match that ended 22 wonderful Counterattack and de brona slotted it in with a low
Driven shot this is the type of finish you expect from your 70 million EUR signing in the second leg de brua stepped up his game even more playing in that number 10 role right behind Aguero he got the ball at the top of the box
Took a touch to get the ball out of his feet while at the same time going by Cavani then curled it past trap de Brun de Bruna shot de Bruna scores it was a beautiful goal that could not have come at a better time game-winning goals like that from
Midfield are exactly what Lampard and Jared were known for it’s what made them icons for Chelsea and Liverpool that goal proved to be enough for the win and Manchester City had made it to their first Champions League semi final in their Club history beating the French Champions a star studed PSG team with
Cavani Zlatan and Di Maria was a shining point in a hectic season that goal also reminded people that Kevin De bruo was something special he had shown up not just once but twice on the biggest stage for City de bruo continued his good form into the 2016 2017 season he got a goal
And put together a man of the match performance against Manchester United in his very first Manchester Derby I mean just look at his goal a beautiful little touch pass blind then places it into the bottom leftand corner then City’s second goal was pretty much all kdb creates a
Bit of space for himself shoots with his left foot it bounces off the post right to Ian nao’s feet to tap de brona’s ability to be good with both feet is very unique and it’s what makes them at times much better than Frank Lampard and Steven Geral he is able to make things
Happen from certain angles just because he doesn’t have a preferred foot just a few days later he put together another man of thee match performance against Bournemouth being involved in all four goals de bruyne had 21 assists in all competitions this season to go along with six SCS although City ended up
Finishing third we were beginning to see how good Kevin De Bruna is at at this point just purely off the eye test it was obvious that kdb was becoming one of the world’s best the chances he was creating the goals he was scoring there weren’t many midfielders better than him
The issue is people do not rate players until they’ve won trophies it’s unfair the English media will never consider you one of the best until you’ve won something de bruyne had gone 21 assists something that neither Gerard nor Lampard has ever done however everyone wants to see de brua lifting trophies
Fortunately the 2017 2018 season was a turning point for Manchester City the season started off well when kdb set up both Aguero and Jesus when City spanked Liverpool 5- nil look at kdb’s vision for aguero’s goal just casually slices the entire Liverpool defense with one pass then for Jesus’s goal you see de
Bron’s Crossing ability whipping in a cross right onto Jesus’s head this is the full range of his abilities long pass short pass Crossing whatever you need de bruyne does at the highest level possible just in the next game week de bruyne assisted Aguero again from across to open up the scoring against Watford
Their connection continued into the next game against Newcastle where de brona assisted one of aguero’s three goals while Aguero was incredibly clinical the other Manchester City players weren’t Sterling and Jesus had good Seasons with City and they were very important for their success but being efficient in
Front of goal that was not their strong suit so while de brona put up crazy numbers and was the main Creator keep in mind that he probably could have had even better numbers while his assist numbers were crazy de brona had no issue scoring either his first Premier League
Goal of the season was symbolic he scored the only goal of the game to beat his former Club Chelsea the goal itself is phenomenal classic de bruyne ball at his feet little bit of space outside the box bam with his left foot I told you guys he doesn’t have a weak foot what
Was even more satisfying than the goal was the sil of the fans at Stanford Bridge who realized that the guy they sold for nothing just destroyed them at their own stadium de brua continued scoring bangers just a few weeks later against Swansea a rocket of a strike
From 30 yards out into the top Corner when Jared and Lampard were doing this nobody could stop talking about him but for some reason de bruyne’s goals completely fly on the radar City’s win against Swansea extended their win streak to 15 games they were cruising this season not only did they win the
Premier League but they got 100 points they achieved that on the last match day thanks to kdb assisting Jesus for a lastminute goal against Southampton de brona played a crazy long ball over the top in the dying minutes of the game right onto Jesus’s path another man of
The match performance for kdb it was a historic milestone for City and with them finally winning a title the individual Awards began to come in quick and fast for de bruo for his 16 assists in the Premier League de Bruno won the Premier League playmaker of the the
Season award he was also selected in the PFA Team of the Year and was also voted as Manchester City’s player of the Season people were finally realizing how good he truly is but then de bruyne’s career went downhill from here the 2018 2019 season is in my opinion a season
That ruined de Bru’s reputation a bit he was injured pretty much the entire season he only played 19 games in the Premier League and only four games in the Champions League he kept getting different injuries from hamstring issues to muscular failures to tore knee ligaments it was very difficult for him
To be able to string together games in order to get his consistency back he did have one bright moment coming in as a substitute in the FA Cup Final against Watford scoring the third goal and assisting two more he was named man of the match the worst part though was
While de brona was having an average season Manchester City were flying they had won the first ever domestic trouble in English men’s football winning the league FA Cup and leagues cup all in the same season with them playing so well without him it made KD B’s rule in their
Previous success look less important I mean I’ll tell you right now if Jared was injured for practically the whole season Liverpool would not be winning trophies just look at the 2010 2011 season when Jared was injured for 84 days Liverpool ended up finishing sixth in the Premier League 2010 2011 was also
The season where Lampard missed the most games from injury and Chelsea ended up finishing second with no trophies there is no doubt that city has been on another level in the last 5 years compared to other Premier League teams but I’m telling you guys they get to
Another level When de bruy is playing do not let the success of the team take away from how good the Belgian midfielder is with people truly thinking that Manchester city was carrying the bruyne he came back with something to prove in the 2019 2020 season statistically speaking it was his best
Individual season 16 goals 23 assists in all competitions 13 of the goals and 20 of the assists coming in in the Premier League he became the first player in football history to reach 20 assists in two of the top five European leagues having now done it in the Prem and the
Bundesliga to put it into perspective Gerard’s best season is seen as the 2008 2009 season and he had 16 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League I am just listing out the stats to show that Kevin De brona is in the exact same conversation as a guy like Gerard we are
Seeing a midfielder just as good if not better than him and we are taking it for granted de bruy getting 20 assists meant that he tied tyon re for the most assists in a Premier League season this helped him win his second playmaker of the Season award he also created 104
Chances from open Play which is the most created by any player in Europe since 2006 this is what I mean when I say that his stats could have been even better had he been playing with a traditional forward throughout the majority of his career at this point in Pep’s project
Aguero was no longer there and city was using a false nine system because of of his success in the system de brona was awarded the Premier League player of the Season he was also named in the PFA Team of the Year and won the PFA Player of
The Year award becoming the first ever Manchester City player to win it the 2020 2021 season was an up and down one for de BR 10 goals and 18 assists in all competitions and he was named PFA players Player of the Year Manchester City had won the League this year by a
Landslide but I think this season will be mainly remembered for City’s failure to win the Champions League final as I discussed earlier City’s goal was the champions league and this year they had achieved The Impossible Manchester City were in the final of the Champions League it was a tough game city were
Unable to break Chelsea down and de brona had not been that involved as the minutes passed by and the score remained nil nil Manchester City fans were beginning to get nervous then the worst thing possible happened rudiger flew into de Bruno with his shoulder laying
Him out flat on the ground de Bruno was on the ground for what seemed like hours when he finally got up his left eye was swollen as if he had just been in a boxing match it was obvious he could no longer continue and he was subbed off in
The second half all he could do now was watch from the sidelines as his team would go on to lose one nothing to Chelsea they had come so close yet so far after losing the final people use it as a reason for why de Bruna couldn’t be
In the same conversation as Steven Geral de Bruna had big moments in this tournament similar to Gerard like his goal against PSG to help City reach the final but the difference was that Jared had pushed his team all the way to the end Gerard was a European Champion de
Brua was not thankfully even this piece of criticism was put to an end after the 2022 2023 season not only did City win the Champions League after years of disappointing results but they won the treble Premier League FA Cup champions league it’s an achievement that is the
Pinnacle of Club football only two other teams have ever done it when City needed him the most de bruo was there at the end of the season de bro was nominated for the UEFA men’s Player of the Year award along with Messi and teammate Holland a lot of focus was on Holland
This season because of the goals and the fact that he was a new signing but de brono was pretty much the driving force for the majority of goals that Holland scored by every single stat Kevin De brua is an all-tim he might not have played as many games as Jared but in
Less games he arguably achieved more the consistency the efficiency of a stats the individual Awards combined with the fact that City have made the Prem look like a farmers League there is no doubt in my mind that Kevin De bro is one of the best players we have ever seen when
You watch him play he creates moments of magic from nothing not many players could come back from injury and immediately get an assist as soon as they come off the bench how many other midfielders can come in late in the second half when their team is trailing
2-1 and get a goal and assist in 24 minutes to get the win what jro did for Liverpool what Lampard did for Chelsea de bruyne is doing for Manchester City people need to start appreciating this guy way more if you think de bruo wasn’t appreciated enough boy do I have a story
For you and it’s about Antoine Griezmann check it out right here

THE GOAT MIDFIELDER OF PREM LEAGUE
Put some respect on Kdb and Man city
You hate City because they keep banging your favourite team as usual 💀 Then some illiterate fans cry about their baseless allegations because their team can't win from them(City)!! They Forgot " INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY"
Now go and CRY we're busy banging your team 💙🗿
KDB is good but David Silva was beta than him in my case
Bro, you don't need to explain anymore. The world knows now that he is the best midfielder 😊😊😊😊
Pretty ridiculous that he doesn’t have a Ballon D’or
must be because kdb is NOTenglish
You clearly have stolen peoples posts and made them your own because you can’t even pronounce their names
He wasn't rejected by the Premier league, he left because he didn't want to wait
Gerrard was great, KDB is on another level
He didn’t have “one” bright moment in 18/19. He was so good in the champions league that season he got into the season best XI. He wasn’t average that season he was just below his own standard.
Lampard was then times better , when you want to insert your opinion and force your arguement you talk about team achievements when you have to
He's not english, end of discussion, that's why.
Great Great doc and awsome job
He's Right Up There with Zz Humble World Class Player
KDB is world class no doubt even a generational talent that we are fortunate enough to watch. I am a Liverpool fan. However, the constant comparison with Gerrard is not valid is because Gerrard was Liverpool. The only one or two truly world class players in a very average team at any given time. So his impact on his club is not the same as KDBs to Man City. Also the assists and goals argument also can be rebutted on the same grounds about the quality of the rest of the players in the playing XI.
So while statistics wise KDB is miles ahead, he will not be talked about as a club or Premier league legend as Gerrard is for the above reasons.
KDB 👑
because hes still playing when he retires they will call him the greatest!
It is because He is not English! Same with Modric, if he was English he would be worth more millions before he was sold to RM!
city have a clinical striker ofc he looks like a good midfielder if KDB went to luton town you think they could win the PL?
KDB has 3 eyes which no other player presently has.
kdb is the goat
Bro stop “just like Steven Gerard “ NO KDB IS JUST DIFFERENT
I think city has many top performing players that's why
I am sorry but De Bruyne isn’t a patch on Steven Gerrard, he is hopeless at tackling and doesn’t have an engine at all. Gerrard was De Bruyne and Rodri in one player.
I think people are now recognising his greatness on the field.if you look at his comeback this year,people were going insane.the reception was overwhelming.the way pep and henry and other superstars talk about him made him a very respectable figure in football.infact i started to fell in love with football because debryne.
