Quotes from Kevin De Bruyne

When I was little, I was always going to the goal. I've always wanted to score and create something, and I think it's always been within me to play offensively.

A life of anybody is not perfect; there is always things that happen, and that is what makes it interesting.

Playing me in different positions helped me to get in the head of the others players: to know what they're thinking, where and how they are going to move.

It's our way to prepare for games: the music is on before the game and after, so it's not like because we won we're going to change it. It's just because it's the thing we do; it's the thing that gets us relaxed, maybe.

Whoever is on the bench always says he isn't playing enough. I work hard and try to do my best. And I try to show on the pitch, even when I only get five minutes, that I can do something.

I was nineteen when I signed and then worked with three managers and just didn't play that much.

When you're part of a World Cup, it's always now or never.

As a player, perhaps you have the chance to take part in a World Cup or a European Championship twice or three times in a lifetime. Other competitions, you have another match three days later. Here, it's different: we know we're out if we don't win.

United are one of the biggest clubs in the country. They're a massive team; they want to win the title. They spent a lot of money, like a lot of the big teams.

You've always six teams who are trying to win the title, and the other five have failed. But by word of saying it, it's not failing; it's just the way it is. The last two years, we didn't win it, so it wasn't good enough, but if now we win it, the other teams will say the same.

People are looking a lot at statistics and all these things, but in the end, I don't really care. If we can win more games than last year where I score less, I will be really happy. And maybe if we can win a few titles, that's the bonus.

At the highest level, a discussion can be good sometimes to get everyone back on their toes.

David Silva - he's constantly played very well for 13 or 14 years now, and to do that is a hard task. I know what he went through last year with his son, too, but to maintain that even then is incredible. He's a very good human being, and he's an unbelievable player.

Obviously, Guardiola is a great coach. It's what I expected from the beginning. His style has always been there. It has little small changes every now and then because I think he also wants to evolve as a trainer by trying new things to get better.

I try to look up as quickly as possible, try to read the situation, but football is so quick, it's just a split-second, and then you decide.

I am used to playing in six different positions in my career, so that's not an issue for me. I have always changed positions, and I don't expect any different. It's all the same to me. It's all about the way you interpret it.

As a kid, I mostly played as a No 10. When I was really young, I played as a striker. But I grew a lot when I was older, and when I was 15, 16, I had a big growth, and so I changed a little bit and became slower.

When we are playing, the whole country is behind us, and that gives us a good feeling. We are almost half and half. We are from everywhere. In the end, we are doing well as a team, and we love it when we hear the game is sold out in five minutes. That's the reason you play.

Everyone needs to be in position to create the openings we have. We like to play a lot where you pass the ball forward and it comes back, because it makes it easier for us to attack, because the midfielders have to turn round.

When you score, it is obviously a great feeling, but to give a great pass is also something special for me. I think it is also very under-rated sometimes, what we do.

There are always new challenges in football. You just need to adapt; otherwise, you won't fit in. And if you don't fit in, then you will have to go somewhere else.

Pogba's a massive player. I know him a little bit. He's unbelievable. He took a red card, and that's the way it goes: you have injuries and suspensions.

When you score, it's a great feeling, but to give a great pass means it's something special for me. It's very under-rated what we do.

In the league, if you have a bad spell, then you are running behind.
