City players don’t win awards, they don’t want city to get the PR or media attention. Aguero never won player of the year in the prem or was selected for the prem team of the year.. 😂
I agree, and now it's too late. I think one reason is money. De Bruyne is not a strong 'brand'. Every kid has a Neymar t-shirt in their closet. Only the ones who really understand the game, wear a De Bruyne's shirt :). The buzz is always higher around players like Neymar, Mbappé,...They are more extravert and charismatic. And of course, Ballon D'or has more of a South of Europe vibe and culture. Kevin played an amazing season when Modric got that Ball. I love Modric, but that I did not understand.
The closest player I've seen to Kevin regarding football IQ and seeing passes that nobody else does, plus the ability to pull the passes off, was Michael Laudrup. He often is listed as one of the most elegant players of all time. Andres Iniesta considers him to be the best player of all time, as does Arteta. A few years ago Thierry Henry tweeted out a 1.5 hour video that was nothing but passes by Michael Laudrup. It's called "Michael Laudrup... The Ultimate Passing Compilation". Here's one of the comments: "Arteta brought me here. He said his best ever player is Laudraup. Then I heard Henry suggesting this video to Balotelli. Never seen such talent."
@@DC-zi6se Indeed. Laudrup's play at Barcelona and then Real Madrid inspired the generation of Spaniards that brought home the World Cup - Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, and Fàbregas. The Spanish Writers take football very seriously, and with good reason they awarded Laudrup the award for "Best Foreign Player in Spain" for the time period 1975-1999. Consider some of the players Laudrup beat to win that award, many of them Ballon d'Or winners - Maradona, Ronaldo (R9), etc.
In 504 appearances, Gerrard had 5 goals with weak foot, 92 assists, 34 big chances created meanwhile KDB in 264 prem appearances has 23 goals with weak foot, 113 assists, and 187 big chances created. The difference is astronomical. KDB is unbelievable.
And still is criminally underrated even though finally many people have realised lately that he s among the greatest midfielder of all time, most of them still believe players like Gerrard and Lampard are on the same level when Kevin is on a level of his own The most clutch midfielder I've ever seen and leading the best team in the world from 2017 till 2023 with an unreal level I doubt I ll ever see again
The greatest midfielder in premier league history, definitely not the greatest midfielder of all time considering the fact that he has no legacy in football outside of statpadding in the prem and couldn’t play full 90 minutes in two of the biggest games of his career
It is a Shame KDB never had the "Ballon d’or".. All thèse years he Splashed all the filles with his Talent.. When he is on the field, he makes me Shiver. Thank you Kévin ❤
Thanks for making this video. In my opinion, he's the best Belgian player in history, but certainly the best I've seen in my lifetime. He truely made me fall back in love with the game.
KDB sits in the table with Messi Ronaldo. Because of his phenomenal stats. Messi Ronaldo and KDB they all have phenomenal stats in their respective field.
@@DrinkBeeer i’m a city fan. But no. Until you win a couple of ballon d’or, then you can sit along with the goat. But he definitely is one of the all time great mf
As a Belgian this made me so happy, he gets so much hate for no reason and I will forever say that he to this day is still the most underrated midfielder in the world!
To sum up he's a proper midfielder and a perfect example of CAM in football. If u want to explain what exactly is a CAM, u should take kdb as an example. What a player man!! An absolute joy to watch.not just the premier league, he's a football great. An all timer. His performances in ucl,world cup and euros are just amazing. And also performs day in day out in the best league in the world
Kevin de Bruyne has to be one of the best players I’ve ever seen. This man can produce assist like no other goals like no other and understand the game like no other. I’m so grateful to have witness him.
Ita crazy how some of these players didnt get the actual attention they deserved and the first that comes to mind is Yaya Toure. And it's so ironic because I though first kdb and David s. Yaya was a different type of beast bro, and these 3 together... different times man.@@Pure9Football
@@rogersk.9131sadly when kevin came to city , yaya already in declined. Having issue with the club & pep. Imagine if he’s still in 2014 form. My god what a team. Imo should deserve a statue too alongside those three. But his issue avoid him from getting one…
Absolutely Amazing video. Keep up the solid work! You know, i thought football was the most boring sport ever(and i play chess) and then I watched KDB play.
The emotional music probably reflects how impactful Kevin De Bruyne is as a player. Football isn’t just about the physical game; it’s also about the emotional highs and lows, the passion, and the moments of brilliance players like De Bruyne create. The music helps convey the intensity and artistry behind his performances, making it more than just a game.
As a Belgian it makes me so proud of my nationality when people speak about KDB. The greatest Belgian ever in football & around. Probably the best midfielder ever to walk this earth.
His technique is matched only by his determination to play for victory 👌 As a Belgian, I wanted him to be captain before the World Cup in Brazil... too bad!!!!
I’ll also add that I’ve been a football fan for years. I’ve watched Zidane in his prime, Nedved Seedorf, Xavi, Iniesta, Toure, Lampard,… Kevin tops them all. I’ve never seen a player like him.
Kevin De Bruyne is definitely one of the best. His vision and passing are unmatched. People may have different opinions, but it’s hard to hate a player like him!
The thing is, put KDB in any team that can handle his vision and technical skills, he'll be the best player of the team hands down... Real, Barça, Juve, Inter, Milan, PSG, Bayern, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, ManUtd, Dortmund, ... even at Spurs... he'll be the key player that rises and makes everyone better while being the top class gentleman he is. I enjoy watching any good player, from Gerrard to Ronaldinho, from Figo and Deco to Lampard and Beckham... but KDB is at a level above that. Not even close.
Man City have had the pleasure of hosting the greatest of footballing mind and they dominated. Its something that happens once in a millennium. People often forget that and credit all to their 115 charges. But they forget that Man City boasts the greatest footballing minds!
Think Kompany describes him best. He's humble. That shows in his game. Like he said in an interview, i could do all the tricks yes, but that's not efficient enough for me. It's just making the right decision, nothing fancy. Maybe that's why he's not so recognized as others. People like to see a show. He's not selling himself enough.
Top 3 in the Prem? Pffft, that’s small talk! We’re talking about a guy who’s going to be top 7 in the world ever. Forget the Premier League bubble, this is football history we’re dealing with here🔥 People will be putting him in the same conversations as the all-time legends-he’s that good! 👑
KDB’s game IQ and playmaking ability are incredible. Bellingham’s still developing, but he’s definitely a rising star. KDB’s just on a whole different level.
If Thierry Henry says he is the the smartest player he have seen ever then it's really very serious since he has played with players like Messi, Zidane, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Bergkemp, Viera, Fabregas for real
Yea that’s a big deal. He’s played with legends like Messi, Zidane, Iniesta, Xavi, and more. For him to single someone out like that, it really shows how special KDB must be.
Danny Murphy said about the bruyne, on MOTD !! that he would not pay to go see a player like KDB, when he joined City he said 35 million was waay too much, so, whatever !
I don't understand a fan that rates Toni Kroos over Kevin De Bruyne. If the number of Champions League titles won by real madrid is the basis of Kroos being better than De Bruyne then I concede. But H2H? player to player? Ability in 1v1 situations, vision, assists and goals Kevin is better all day everyday!
Kroos might not be as flashy, but his strength lies in controlling the game, keeping possession, and dictating the tempo. He’s like the engine that keeps everything running smoothly. It’s less about who’s better overall and more about what kind of player you value. Both are top tier, just in different ways.
I get where you’re coming from, but saying De Bruyne “might scrape into the top 10” is a bit of an understatement. His consistency, vision, and influence at Manchester City and internationally are undeniable. He’s been one of the best midfielders in the world for years, constantly delivering in big moments. Top 5 is absolutely a valid argument, especially when you consider his playmaking ability and how he’s redefined the role of an attacking midfielder.
@@Pure9Football not for Belgium. internationally. By the old scale he would barely make the world class grade. He hasn’t done much on the world stage. Also scraping into the top 10 is not a slur.

Kevin De Bruyne is undoubtedly a world class player, and while everyone is entitled to their opinion, calling his team mediocre might be a bit unfair. Manchester City has consistently been one of the top teams in Europe, winning multiple Premier League titles and competing at the highest level in the Champions League. De Bruyne and his team have shown they belong among the best.
@@Pure9Football it may or not be a bit unfair. When the players and fans have that reaction(against Arsenal) it gives away a mediocre mentality. No dignity, no sportsmanship..only small teams do that. And how many UCLs has Pep won since leaving Spain?
@@RagingStream I can see where you're coming from, but strong reactions in big matches often come from passion and the pressure of the moment, not necessarily a lack of sportsmanship. Every team, no matter how big, has moments where emotions run high. As for Pep, while the number of UCLs since leaving Spain might not match his success with Barcelona, his influence on the game and the style of football he’s brought to clubs, prove he’s far from being defined by just one competition. Winning the Champions League is tough, but Pep’s legacy is much bigger than just UCL titles
KDB is the best for me even better then ronaldo en messi why? he defends alot tons of energy more big chances created then any 1. and his so selfless. rather have 3 kdb the 3 ronaldo's or messi's
Every player brings something unique. De Bruyne’s playmaking has shaped Man City’s style, while Haaland’s goal scoring is breaking records. Both will leave lasting legacies in their own way
I am a Real Madrid fan... And i always keep wondering how has Kevin not won a ballon d'or yet... I think he definitely deserves one
Cause he didn’t have the madrid / barca pr. If he play for both if em. You won’t stop listening to it like modric / kroos.
Ballon d'or is rigged
City players don’t win awards, they don’t want city to get the PR or media attention. Aguero never won player of the year in the prem or was selected for the prem team of the year.. 😂
The least delusional Madrid fan i've seen
I agree, and now it's too late. I think one reason is money. De Bruyne is not a strong 'brand'. Every kid has a Neymar t-shirt in their closet.

As for Pep, while the number of UCLs since leaving Spain might not match his success with Barcelona, his influence on the game and the style of football he’s brought to clubs, prove he’s far from being defined by just one competition. Winning the Champions League is tough, but Pep’s legacy is much bigger than just UCL titles
KDB is the best for me even better then ronaldo en messi why? he defends alot tons of energy more big chances created then any 1. and his so selfless. rather have 3 kdb the 3 ronaldo's or messi's
Couldn’t agree more! His all-around game and selflessness put him in a league of his own
Very overrated player. Haaland will surpass his Man City legacy
?
😂
@@zkt000 it’s true
@@RPCentral7 sure it is
Every player brings something unique. De Bruyne’s playmaking has shaped Man City’s style, while Haaland’s goal scoring is breaking records. Both will leave lasting legacies in their own way
