Pep Guardiola explains why Kevin De Bruyne goals are not enough for Man City

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City need Kevin De Bruyne for more than just his goals and assists.

De Bruyne scored the only goal of the game as the Blues beat Leicester at the King Power to move to the stop of the Premier League table. The Belgian had also scored a terrific goal against Brighton last week, only for Guardiola to come out afterwards and demand more from his star playmaker.

City's manager was delighted with De Bruyne at Leicester, not just for his unstoppable set-piece but the overall performance that added to the talents of goals and assists that he can do 'blindly'. While Guardiola knows he is being demanding, he believes it is his job to keep pushing De Bruyne.
