Kevin de Bruyne passes the soccer ball into the back of the net after a Ipswich goalkeeper gets caught in possession.
It must be a relief for Kevin de Bruyne to be back playing with Manchester City. His time with Belgium in the Euros easily forgotten for the most part. Now, at City, he’s surrounded by elite players who he knows well.
Goalkeepers these days think they can play in the midfield. At least they want to. Attempt it. But some goalkeepers should just stick to using their hands. Especially if they’re playing against Manchester City, this isn’t a rondo. This isn’t a possession game or a warm up. Also, not every keeper as the skills to play like a keeper sweeper.
Moreover, Kevin de Bruyne’s will slot the soccer ball home with the ease if you give the ball away like that and a window of space to shoot on an open goal. It is usually Kevin who is setting someone else to score. Here, he pounces on a mistake and scores.
“If I see someone I think is in a better position than me, it is better for me to give the ball. Now I shoot more at goal. When I was young, they sometimes said to me, ‘You need to shoot more. You try to give it too much.’ It is something that I learned. To try to take the best option.”
A mistake at the back leaves Ipswich Town vulnerable, and Kevin de Bruyne doesn’t hesitate to give Manchester City a 2-1 lead at the Etihad. Watch as Kevin de Bruyne passes soccer ball in to the goal with ease. It is already looking likely that City can win the EPL title once again.
