DBasia.news – Manchester City midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne claims the Cityzens only trained for 10 minutes to humiliate Manchester United last weekend. Is that true?
At the weekend, Manchester City won a very important victory away to Manchester United headquarters. In that match, The Cityzens managed to beat their city rivals with a score of 2-0 thanks to an own goal and the action of Bernardo Silva.
Later, Kevin De Bruyne claimed that Man City did not need long to train ahead of the match. De Bruyne claims City only trained for 10 minutes as Pep Guardiola admitted he was blind to the tactics that the Red Devils would use.
“The day before the game, we usually train tactically, based on the way the opponent plays,” De Bruyne told the MidMid podcast.
“But before the game against United, Pep said: ‘We don’t know how they will play. We’ll see’. And we stopped training after about 10 minutes.
“Pep often knows how the opponent is going to play. This time he doesn’t know, so he doesn’t know what to do.”
“We’ve done what we’ve always done, but he doesn’t know in advance whether they will play with five or four at the back, whether they will play with three in midfield or three in attack.”
