Erling Haaland is not the key for Man City, he is only a finishing executor and that is the only skill he has, but what is still the key to Pep Guardiola's strategy is Kevin De Bruyne, who is a genius when it comes to creating opportunities for Erling Haaland. Without Kevin De Bruyne it will be difficult for everyone to play more freely, as well as Haaland movements which will definitely be closely monitored. However, Pep Guardiola has made Kevin De Bruyne the main key, and that is clear.
Yes, that's right, Pep Guardiola's Man City era was quite unique, he only relied on good midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne. This was proven when he was injured. Pep felt anxious. This also proves that Haaland is not one of the keys to Man City's success, the key to Man City's success is Kevin Dey Bruyne because he has it all in him. Good serve, good passing, good crossing, rocket kick specialist. Definition of all in one. He is also a player with a typical vision or situation reader, he is good at finding space, filling space and closing space, which is also what causes De Bruyne to often score a lot of assists because he is often used as a playmaker and attack creator, so most of Man City's attacks are centered on De Bruyne because of that. He is often involved in many Man City goals.
I just want to say Put a world class striker in front of Kevin De Bruyne and almost any team in the world would be in serious trouble. Haaland can stretch anywhere and Kevin De Bruyne can send the ball anywhere. What a duo, they really complement each other.
