His performances have earned praise from City boss Pep Guardiola, who said:"Without the ball he is a fighter, with the ball he sees everything and he always makes the right decision. He is a player on another level, and we are lucky to have him. I hope he enjoys playing his amazing football with us. He is one of the great players I have managed."


In addition to Guardiola's praise, the player himself admitted that he is enjoying City's style of play at the moment, hailing it as positive and enjoyable.


"I am enjoying the way that we are playing," De Bruyne told Sky Sports. "I think we are playing good football and the way that we want to play is very positive. I think people enjoy watching us play which is a good thing.

"Obviously Guardiola is a great coach. It's what I expected from the beginning. His style has always been there, it has little small changes every now and then because I think he also wants to evolve as a trainer by trying new things to get better."


Asked about how it is to deal with Pep Guardiola's bold tactical decisions, De Bruyne replied:"I am used to playing in six different positions in my career so that's not an issue for me,


"I have always changed positions and I don't expect any different. It's all the same to me. It's all about the way you interpret it."
