The television pundit Rio Ferdinand expects Pep Guardiola to have a talk with the Belgian key player after the thumping 3-0 victory over Bayern Munich.
De Bryune started the first half of the game with a solid performance, however, required treatment off the pitch after hurting his knee. Shortly then, he was substituted with Julian Alvarez and appeared to be dissatisfied with the situation. In the post-match analysis, Guardiola called his decision a tactical move. “I am here to take the decisions, and it is my biggest quality,” concluded the Manchester City boss to highlight his strengths as a manager.
After De Bryune was replaced at the Etihad Stadium, City scored two more stunning goals putting their opponent at an overwhelming difference.
According to Ferdinand, the City star will be spoken to about not being satisfied with the decision of being taken off. "That happens with players. Big player thinks he should be on the pitch all the time. Pep’s going to walk into that changing room and say to him, ‘Listen, I know what I’m doing,'” said the pundit on BT Sport.
