Kevin De Bruyne has loved football since he was a child. He only wanted a ball as a toy. His primary school teacher said he would wait by the door to go outside and play as quickly as possible.
He became adept with both feet as a child because he used to ruin flowerbeds with his right foot. He was told to use his weaker left foot to protect the flowers.
De Bruyne was an exceptionally shy child. His teacher found it difficult to form a connection with him. He admitted he struggled socially when he left home at 14 to join Genk’s academy.
Despite being introverted, he always had strong opinions about football. At eight years old, he told his local manager he was moving to Gent because the training was better. At Genk, he used a half-time interview to criticise the team’s performance.
Eden Hazard knew from the first time he saw De Bruyne that he would be one of the best players in the world. Vincent Kompany’s first impression was different. He thought De Bruyne seemed to moan a lot, but his opinion softened when he saw his talent.
A loan spell at Werder Bremen was a landmark moment. He convinced himself he was destined for the top. Jurgen Klopp was particularly keen to sign him for Borussia Dortmund.
His physical development came later during his time at Wolfsburg. He was not focused on strength and conditioning as a youngster.
De Bruyne is a terrible loser. He was dragged off a pitch after a defeat as a child. He once told a seasoned professional he needed to run more to win a training game. Roberto Martinez described him as a perfectionist. Kompany said he is one of the biggest bad losers he knows.
De Bruyne has always made decisions to benefit his career. He left Genk for Chelsea because he needed to leave Belgium. Four months into his first season, he left Chelsea because he needed to play regularly.
Pep Guardiola said De Bruyne is one of the best players he has ever trained. He said right now, in the midfield position, he is the best.
