In good shape since his return to competition and starting during the clash at the top of the Premier League between Liverpool and Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne (32) was quickly taken out in the second half. Replaced by Mateo Kovacic in the 69th minute, the Belgian was particularly annoyed by his replacement. By shaking his coach’s hand, he expressed his dissatisfaction. After sitting on the substitutes’ bench, Kevin De Bruyne was even seen protesting. Pep Guardiola came back to him to try to talk and calm down his player.
After the meeting, Pep Guardiola explained this scene at a press conference. ““I’m happy to see that. The next match will be his opportunity to prove. We needed a player who keeps the ball. It wasn’t about pressing. Kovacic is very good at this. We were happy with Kevin. This is not a problem. Everything is fine”he explained.
