Man City's lack of egos contributes to success, says De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne spoke to Liam Loftus and Paul Dickov on the Manchester City podcast where he discussed his career and current affairs at the club. The Belgian midfielder is one of the club's longest-serving players after joining from Wolfsburg in 2015.
This campaign he enters his tenth season at the Etihad Stadium as one of the club's most-capped players with 16 titles to his name, including six Premier League titles and one Champions League.
The 33-year-old said that each player knows that he has to make merits to get a place in the starting eleven as there is a great competition within the team, he also stated that there are no egos within the dressing room but that everyone wants to contribute to achieve collective achievements.
“In the 10 years I’ve been here, I’ve seen many great players, but I’ve not seen many egos. I feel like everybody knows that everybody’s important. I know that if I can’t play for three weeks and I know that if the guy who plays in my position plays really good, he deserves it,” said De Bruyne on the podcast
The Sky Blues number 17 also spoke about his injury after missing six months with Manchester City last season due to hamstring surgery. “I feel like being out for six months, people think you come back and you’re going to be like this (perfect). Obviously, Newcastle was great but then there were some games when my body was really hurting because I’ve not done this for six months."
"I knew that after these pains from coming back, I knew I needed a really good Euros where I was physically top and then a break. And now I feel I’m back to what I was before so let’s hope it keeps going," concluded De Bruyne.
