The Belgium coach, the Spanish Roberto Martínez, declared on Tuesday that the Manchester City Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is the best player in the English Premier League, although Liverpool have been the best team. “I watch all of Kevin's games. Last week I also saw the game against Liverpool and it was very clear to me. It is true that Liverpool have the best team this season and that the 'Reds' are fair champions. But, it must be admitted that Kevin De Bruyne is the best player in the Premier League, “the Spaniard told Amazon Prime.
De Bruyne, 29, has added a total of 11 goals and 17 assists in 31 league games this season, skimming the record for 20 decisive passes that Frenchman Henry signed with Arsenal in the 2002/03 campaign. “The way he influences the game is incredible. He is a player who makes passes that no one else can see. In addition, he is capable of evolving in different positions and adapts perfectly,” added Martínez, who spent much of his career as a player and coach in the UK.
