Manchester City star Kevin de Bruyne is considered to be one of the best midfielder in the Premier League. The 32-year-old midfielder has been sidelined for the greater part of this year following a hamstring injury. Subsequently, the player underwent surgery and is in recovery. Recently, a video of the player surfaced, in which he made an interesting submission.
When asked about who he would rather play with, Kevin picked Cristiano Ronaldo over a midfield of Xavi and Iniesta. In the video City player said:
I would like to play with Cristiano Ronaldo. I would definitely have more assists. With Cristiano I could cross the ball 3 metres too high and know he is still going to get it, he would help me a lot.
Moreover, he also praised Cristiano’s heading ability.
The player has set up over 286 assists. However, he is convinced that playing with CR7 would have increased this tally to a bigger number.
