Transcript

00:00Kevin De Bruyne has announced that he's leaving the club in the summer. First of all, your reaction?

00:05Sad day.

00:07He was on the wrong side of Manchester.

00:15Don't necessarily tell his influence in our success in the last decade.

00:19That would be impossible imagined, like, you know, without him.

00:24And it's a day because, of course, it's part of us, he's leaving.

00:27The Premier League is one of the greatest midfielders I've ever played in this country,

00:33and I think this club is no doubt about that.

00:36I don't know if he's the one, the two or the three, but for me he's one of the best players in the history of the Premier League,

00:42without a question of a doubt.

00:44I've never seen, I've never played with a player that can execute that precisely at high speed.

00:50He can be running at 33, 34 kilometres an hour and play the ball 30 metres through two people to the perfect spot.

00:58I haven't seen anybody else do that at that pace.

01:01He was, like, one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

01:05The time passes to everyone, so it's a natural thing.

01:11He improved the league.

01:13He was on the wrong side of Manchester.

01:17So, I wish him good luck.

01:20It was a pleasure to see him in Portugal a lot of times,

01:25so I hope he enjoys the rest of his life.
