Kevin De Bruyne set to 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 Manchester City at the end of the current season! to join this shocking club in Laliga not Saudi Arabia
Kevin De Bruyne’s impending departure from Manchester City in the summer has sparked debate about his legacy as a midfielder in the Premier League. While he is undoubtedly an exceptional player, it’s premature to hail him as the greatest of all time. De Bruyne’s passing ability is certainly impressive, but his speed and agility are questionable, and he has often been overshadowed by his teammate David Silva.
Furthermore, De Bruyne’s defensive skills are lacking, and he rarely tracks back to help his team, a trait that is reminiscent of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defensive shortcomings. His goal-scoring record is also not impressive, considering the amount of time he spends in and around the opponent’s box.
The author argues that recency bias is playing a significant role in De Bruyne’s overhyped status, with many fans and pundits forgetting the achievements of other great midfielders like Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Patrick Vieira, and Roy Keane.
In a separate but related rant, the author expresses frustration with the use of VAR in football, citing the recent Chelsea vs. Tottenham match as an example of its inefficiency. The author argues that VAR is slow and often fails to correct clear and obvious errors, with referees and pundits like Wayne Rooney struggling to interpret the technology. The article concludes that VAR is more of a hindrance than a help, and that its implementation has been botched.
