Pep Guardiola called for more goals from Kevin De Bruyne while marveling at the playmaker’s ability to create chances.
The Manchester City star did not receive any assistance at King Power Stadium, but he played a significant role in both goals in the 2-0 win and left the experts purring as his ball rolled perfectly past two Leicester defenders and was he was on the path of Gabriel Jesus in the run-up to the party’s final strike.
“Pretty good, huh?” It was Guardiola’s smiling assessment, before asking more blatantly: “It is not the first time he does it. Now he has to score a goal. In the next game he will pass and score goals. Kevin in this situation is extraordinary.”
De Bruyne also led the way in recoveries, recovering the ball 14 times to set a new season record for the club in the Premier League. For his manager, this “non-negotiable” quality is the reason his teams work as hard as they do.
“I would say that this is one of our identities,” Guardiola said.

“One of the most talented players in the world is capable of doing this kind of work. It happened from day one. There is no negotiation about it. You can play very badly, but in terms of running for your teammates and running again and pressing high. and continuing to the end you have to do it for your companions because the next action may be for you.
“When this happens, it is an incredible step forward as a team. We can play well or badly, but we cannot deny that in five years together all the players together run amazingly and fight every game. That is one of the things that I am most proud of. “.
