Who is the real nucleus of Manchester City? Zhidao's view is that Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri are the most indispensable players in Pep Guardiola's tactics, and their tactical value is far greater than that of Haaland.
In the 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Burnley 3-1 at home to win four consecutive league games and rise to second place, but still as many as five points behind the leader Liverpool.
Kevin De Bruyne started the game for 72 minutes and provided a brilliant free-kick assist, with Alvarez, who is 24 years old, scoring twice in the first half.
According to statistics, De Bruyne has played a total of 186 minutes for Manchester City in all competitions since his return from injury, and he has contributed three assists and one assist.
Kevin De Bruyne came back in the FA Cup third round in Manchester City's 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town and came off the bench to assist Doku, who also returned from injury. In the last round of the Premier League away to Newcastle, De Bruyne came off the bench, first scoring his own equalizer, and then assisting Bob to score in stoppage time to help Manchester City beat Newcastle 3-2. Counting this round of the Premier League, De Bruyne returned from injury and scored 4 goals in 1 start and 2 substitutes, 3 assists and 1 goal. With a healthy Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City will definitely pursue Liverpool frantically and start the Premier League title defense mode.
