This season the Belgian midfiel wins out one of the main roles in the total domination of the City in the Premier League.

According to Xavi, the coach of the "blue moon" Josep Guardiola always needs a player who is capable of non-standard actions. And, if in Barcelona this role was played by Lionel Messi, then in the current team of Pep this responsibility is placed on De Bruijn.

"Guardiola wards are always first and foremost strong in their team play, but even the most incredible teams need special players," said Javi.

"In Barcelona, ??

this player was Lionel Messi. In Manchester City, this role is played by Kevin De Bruyne ".

"Every time he is with the ball, it seems that now something fantastic will happen. Not every game you can trample an opponent with a score of 3: 0 or 4: 0, and if something goes wrong, we need a player capable of solving the outcome of the match, "- concluded midfielder Al-Sadd.

Earlier, Xavi said that at the end of the season he plans to hang his boots on a nail.
