De Bruyne considers himself the player with the fewest goals but the most assists this season

Manchester City player De Bruyne 's recent situation has gradually declined, and he even lost his starting position. He is often placed on the bench, so some people began to criticize his strength, but De Bruyne doesn't care that he still has enough ability to help the club.


De Bruyne told a press conference ahead of City's Champions League round of 16 clash with Leipzig : "Obviously people don't hold me to the same standards as other players. It's what it is. People expect me to score every game, every game. Assists in every game. I think I have been playing well, maybe less assists, but not less chances created. I don’t pay much attention to these comments, I feel good.”


De Bruyne considers himself the player with the fewest goals but the most assists this season

In the Premier League last season, De Bruyne played 30 games for Manchester City , contributing 15 goals and 8 assists. In 25 games this season, De Bruyne has 4 goals but 12 assists.


In this regard, De Bruyne said: "I missed 4 or 5 games, but I am still the player with the most assists in the league. I have been here for 8 years and 15 years of my career. My expectations are higher than any of you. You know what people outside will say, but I have no pressure. I play football because I like it."


De Bruyne bluntly said that he is already a veteran, and his experience gives him enough confidence. De Bruyne believes that in the next 8 years, people will naturally know who he is and what he has done for the team. He's not going to do what he's not good at, on and off the pitch, because everyone has a role to play and it's important to keep that role.
