The goals we get against are not really that people outplay us. I think it's the mistakes we make. It's when we have the ball at the back, we lose a few balls sometimes - that's also the risk with the way we play. It's not like they created the chance. We make two mistakes, and then we get the goals against.

A life of anybody is not perfect; there is always things that happen, and that is what makes it interesting.

Kevin De Bruyne

I always like to assist more than scoring: it gives me another feeling; I cannot explain it.

Kevin De Bruyne

explain feeling me always

I think the goal is to win everything. Whatever we can reach is nice to take.

Kevin De Bruyne

everything win think nice

Obviously, Guardiola is a great coach. It's what I expected from the beginning. His style has always been there. It has little small changes every now and then because I think he also wants to evolve as a trainer by trying new things to get better.

Money is important, but the most important thing for me is to play football, and then I'm happy. OK, you want to earn a good amount of money to be secure, but if I chose money, I would go to Russia and already have a lot more. I like to play football, and that is it.

Kevin De Bruyne

good me money football

Playing me in different positions helped me to get in the head of the others players: to know what they're thinking, where and how they are going to move.

Kevin De Bruyne

know me different thinking

I always try to manage the ball in a way that can help the way my teammates receive it.

Kevin De Bruyne

help try always way

When I was little, I was always going to the goal. I've always wanted to score and create something, and I think it's always been within me to play offensively.

Kevin De Bruyne

think me always play

When you score, it is obviously a great feeling, but to give a great pass is also something special for me. I think it is also very under-rated sometimes, what we do.

Kevin De Bruyne

great me you sometimes

At the highest level, a discussion can be good sometimes to get everyone back on their toes.

Kevin De Bruyne

Obviously, everyone needs to find a system and playing style that suits you more.

You've always six teams who are trying to win the title, and the other five have failed. But by word of saying it, it's not failing; it's just the way it is. The last two years, we didn't win it, so it wasn't good enough, but if now we win it, the other teams will say the same.

Kevin De Bruyne

good win you way

It's our way to prepare for games: the music is on before the game and after, so it's not like because we won we're going to change it. It's just because it's the thing we do; it's the thing that gets us relaxed, maybe.

Kevin De Bruyne

game music change way

I try to look up as quickly as possible, try to read the situation, but football is so quick, it's just a split-second, and then you decide.

Kevin De Bruyne

look you situation football

If you do an outside spin with the ball, it's more difficult to control it, so I try to pass it in a way that allows them to take the ball quicker in their path. That way, they may have more of an advantage to score or create themselves.

Kevin De Bruyne

control you path way

I am used to playing in six different positions in my career, so that's not an issue for me. I have always changed positions, and I don't expect any different. It's all the same to me. It's all about the way you interpret it.

Kevin De Bruyne

i-am me you way

There is no such thing as pressing on your own. You need to know where to stand, and you have to coordinate that with the whole team together.

Kevin De Bruyne

stand you team together

David Silva - he's constantly played very well for 13 or 14 years now, and to do that is a hard task. I know what he went through last year with his son, too, but to maintain that even then is incredible. He's a very good human being, and he's an unbelievable player.

Kevin De Bruyne

human-being good know son

Whoever is on the bench always says he isn't playing enough. I work hard and try to do my best. And I try to show on the pitch, even when I only get five minutes, that I can do something.

Kevin De Bruyne

work-hard best i-can work

I am a fighter. I learned it at Genk in my first year when we were fighting against going down. Also, at Bremen last year, it was very difficult. We had to fight more often than not. I will fight again to earn my place.
