It is time the Manchester City star stopped behaving like an immature child.
And Pep Guardiola was dead right to take him off against Liverpool.There is no doubt de Bruyne has ability coming out of his ears.
What a pity then that he does not always have the same desire to fight for his team. Be under no illusion, that particular skill of his is not at the top level.And yet that seemed to be irrelevant to Kevin de Brat.On such a big day, with the consequences so huge, that was unforgivable. I believe that if de Bruyne was less self-obsessed, Belgium might actually have won something with its golden generation.But the bottom line is that he doesn’t belong in their company.In last season’s Champions League semi-final, when City demolished Real Madrid 4-0, he stopped playing at one moment when Madrid were in possession.That is an ugly side to his brilliance.The British media love him.
On the day he signed, he talked about how it was ‘like a dream’ to play for Chelsea and how hard he would have to work to get into a team that possessed so many brilliant players.He almost felt it was an insult that he had to fight for a place.There is no doubt he is a good professional, who looks after himself, but some of his colleagues have been frustrated by how he looks after himself on the pitch at the expense of the team.
