Pep Puts Rumors to Rest: No Rift with De Bruyne, Just Trust and Time Needed!

Pep Guardiola addressed rumors about his relationship with Kevin De Bruyne, denying any personal conflict despite De Bruyne’s reduced playing time and remarks from several pundits suggesting issues between them.

Pep Guardiola said “People say I’ve got a problem with Kevin. Do you think I like not to play with Kevin?”

Guardiola continued his explanation, highlighting De Bruyne’s significant contributions to Manchester City while acknowledging the challenges De Bruyne faced with injuries and age, which require patience for his return to peak performance.

Pep Guardiola said “‘No, I don’t want Kevin to play. The guy who has the most talent in the final third, I don’t want it. I have a personal problem with him after nine years together. He’s delivered to me the biggest success to this club. But he’s been five months injured and two months injured. He’s 33 years old. He needs time to find his best. Like last season, step by step.”
