The head coach of "Manchester City" Josep Guardiola commented on his decision to keep Kevin De Bruyne on the bench in the postponed match of the 7th round of the English championship against "Tottenham" (4:2)
"We have known each other very well for seven years. I know when Kevin is ready and when he's not. This is normal. There are many matches. Sometimes we need a different type of player in that position. Sometimes we need more players in the box and it's a bit difficult for Kevin there.
We always expect Kevin to assist, but how many passes does he make that don't go through. We have a lot of competition in the team. In some matches, you need a certain player, to whom Kevin, for example, is inferior," Guardiola was quoted as saying by Goal.
