Kevin de Bruyne may be one of the best midfielders on the planet and he scored a goal against Brighton in the Premier League last matchday, but his manager expects more from him.

It is difficult to analyse the most quality midfielders on the planet without placing Kevin de Bruyne at the top. The Belgian is a key player in Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side. Against Brighton, he made another great performance, scoring one of the winning goals. His manager, however, thinks that he could do better.ç
"Kevin can be better. He is not playing at his best, not yet. He scored a fantastic goal, but he can still do much better. He knows that. I don't have to tell him that. He's not perfect, he knows that. I spoke to him. The goal was outstanding," he said. He also praised Erling Haaland, who continues to making impressive performances.
The Sky Blue boss proclaimed: "Congratulations to my players because I know how difficult it was. I said it the day before and at half-time: we knew how difficult this game could be, but, in the end, we did it." The match, in the end, was settled quite seriously, as his side started 2-0 up and finished 3-1.
Kevin de Bruyne, in any case, aims to continue to be essential in his plans while waiting for him to find that better level that Pep wants from him. This season could be the ideal one for that: Manchester City, with Haaland as an excellent striker in their ranks, will aim more than ever for the great objective of the Champions League title.
