Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne said he considers his level of play high enough to compete for the Golden Ball.
" But who am I to decide this?
" I played well over the past few years and even last season, I had a lot of injuries, but when I was on the field, I was fine. Even in Germany I had good years and I felt happy. "
“I don’t know who decides about the Golden Ball, but I'm pretty close to that level,” de Bruyne told Sky Sports.
Earlier it was reported that the Belgian footballer does not plan to leave the “townspeople”, despite the ban on transfers.
