“A Single Player Cannot Win a League”- Sergio Aguero On Kevin De Bruyne’s Manchester City Return After Injury

The return of Kevin De Bruyne from a five-month injury hiatus has sent waves of joy across the soccer community. The anticipation was met with an instant impact as he orchestrated a remarkable 3-2 comeback for Manchester City against Newcastle United. While Pep Guardiola and Co. celebrated, former icon Sergio Aguero had a distinct take on his return. The City’s all-time top-scorer emphasized the collective over individual prowess in the race for the title.

In a recent interview with Stake.com, Aguero shared his thoughts on Kevin De Bruyne’s comeback and the significance of City’s’ title defense. The Argentine star acknowledged the massive boost Kevin De Bruyne provides to the squad. He highlighted that the Belgian maestro, aside from influencing the game single-handedly, disrupts opponent strategies. “Kevin’s return is massive. While City was able to make do without him for a few months, his presence is still a key factor in the team’s performance, both for his impact on the game itself as well as the effect he has on the opposition. We saw that clear as day when he came in against Newcastle,” Aguero stated.

However, the former Manchester City ace quickly dismissed the notion that De Bruyne’s stunning return declares them as Premier League champions. Aguero firmly stated, “Calling the race over would be an overstatement. A single player cannot win a league. But we come out bolstered by Kevin’s recovery, no doubt about that.” Aguero’s words are a reminder of the complexities of the title race. City still faces a title challenger as a resurgent Arsenal, and a never-say-die Liverpool will take them to the end! Yet, KDB is back and is hungry for more!

Kevin De Bruyne’s unparalleled role in Manchester City’s title pursuit

As the soccer world revels in De Bruyne’s comeback, the impact of the Belgian is likened to that of a marquee signing. Unlike fresh additions, who take some time to synergize with the team, Kevin De Bruyne brings a proven ability with familiarity to Guardiola’s squad. His role in City’s historic treble last season, contributing ten goals and 31 assists, is a testament to his indispensability.
