Manchester City midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne has come out to admit that he is under pressure to perform because of Phil Foden’s amazing performances this season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he feels the pressure most times because his talented teammates keep him on his toes, so he no longer expects a guaranteed spot in the Manchester City team.
De Bruyne added that Phil Foden has been absolutely fantastic this season, and he does not even play like a youngster anymore.
His words, “Yeah I do because these guys keep me on my toes. I don’t expect to just be given my place. If I don’t perform well, I won’t play. Phil Foden has been amazing this season so deserves it but it keeps me on my toes. I think it’s possible. When I started at 16 or 17 nobody thought it was possible with David Silva.
It will be a little bit vice versa but I don’t see why not. We have not done it that much. I just try to be more of an example with the way I am on the pitch. I won’t be the person to tell others how to live their lives but I try to show on the pitch. I have played with Phil [Foden] for seven or eight years now so I don’t feel like he is a youngster anymore. He is an established superstar in our team. He is just amazing.”
WOW.
