De Bruyne recounts 'perfect' last season
Kevin de Bruyne, Manchester City midfield maestro, claims his club will "never have a season like last year", though looks forward to trying to retain the Premier League crown this campaign.
City broke a plethora of records on their way to 100 points and the Premier League title last season, with De Bruyne at the heart and providing 16 assists for his teammamtes.
The 27-year-old remarked: "Last year was almost perfect.
"If we are going to be champions on the last day, the last kick of the season, then I am also going to be happy.
"The main focus is on us. The other teams are always going to push us, Liverpool did what we did last year. They have spent a lot of money but wisely."
The Belgian also talked about 'All or Nothing', an Amazon Prime documentary on Manchester City's incredible campaign which is released on Friday 17th August. Speaking to the 'BBC' about the filming, De Bruyne said "In the beginning it was a little bit awkward.
"We are used to getting a lot of camera attention but mostly on the pitch. Behind the scenes, in training, there is not normally anything apart from the stuff that City themselves do.
"In the beginning it was a bit weird as you don't know the people you are working with but then after time you forget they are there. They are there every single day, you get to know them and it becomes familiar.
"This programme you have to show it as real as possible. The good things, the bad things, maybe incidents, whatever. A life of anybody is not perfect, there is always things that happen and that is what makes it interesting."
With regard to his manager, Pep Guardiola, the midfielder said: "Pep has different relationships with everyone. I am lucky that I like to play the way already that he implemented so it was an easier transition, more natural.
"That is how I prefer to play football, we are on the same wavelength. In the end it's a lot of hard work but if it's fun then it's good. Pep can be intense."
