Kristjan Jaak Kangur and Kris Ilves in the 56th episode of the Soccernet.ee podcast “Dune Albion” talked, among other things, about Kevin De Bruyne, who after an injury scored a goal against Newcastle United and carried out preparatory work for victory. objective.
“City’s time began and it began with the arrival of Kevin De Bruyne, who had not played for a hundred years. The first thing he did was take a free kick, but his foot was so cold at that moment that he hit the wall. Then a few minutes passed, then he scored a goal… out of nowhere,” Kangur recalled of the last league match between City and Newcastle.
“One player in a hundred goes to set up with the inside like that and hits that corner, not the other. I don’t know how or what this man is thinking, he must have something more in the brain,” Ilves reflected.
“And then Oscar Bobbi’s game-winning pass in the first minute of extra time, which was particularly great to watch from the spider camera. From there we can more or less guess what De Bruyne sees. It’s one thing to see your player running from the edge – any average player could do this To single out a Premier League footballer. Another option is to give a curved ball from there which the defender cannot catch, but the attacker can, which the goalkeeper cannot catch, and with which you can do something clever. And do it in a split second, maybe spot him and be able to pass like that,” Kangur De Bruyne smashed the assist.
He added: “I agree with you. De Bruyne’s genius has always been that he’s not the guy who hits the hardest, runs the fastest, gives the body more power or tackles the boldest. It’s more like he’s stuck between the ears – reading the game and seeing the field. All that side of wisdom… It’s nice to see that in today’s top sport, where physical ability is always in progress, the man who thinks he is the most intelligent makes decisions.”
“Having watched more Arsenal games in the last ten years, I would like to draw a parallel with Cesc Fabregas and Mesut Özil. They were similar players who could conjure something brilliant out of nothing,” Ilves compared De Bruyne to the two former Gunners.
“Cesc Fabregas and Ryan Giggs are two ahead in the Premier League scoring charts, De Bruyne has moved up to third ahead of Wayne Rooney – the man is back and immediately setting a record,” praised Kangur. “Well, you have to take into account that these statistics are from the Premier League era, because before it was a bit boring to keep them.”
“I don’t know what City’s title odds are, but I tend to think that with De Bruyne’s return they have increased dramatically. Maybe before they were strongly in City’s favour, but now they have increased even more. And it’s worth remembering that Erling Haaland hasn’t been played for a while now, if this man returns, City will still be the favorites for a great shot against Liverpool,” Ilves thought.
“It’s quite depressing when you’re Liverpool and you’re having a good season, but City are still somehow standing. Liverpool have to defeat as many opponents as possible to win the title and hope that City slip up somewhere,” he said. Kangur revealed the formula. “They still have a meeting ahead of them in March.”
