In a recent interview, Kalvin Phillips spoke highly of Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, naming him the best player he has ever played with. This praise further solidifies De Bruyne’s status as one of the top footballers in the world. Phillips’ sentiment is echoed by several others, including fellow footballers Oleksandr Zinchenko and Phil Foden, who have all lauded De Bruyne’s exceptional talent.
Even Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has expressed his admiration for the Belgian playmaker, describing him as a “fantastic player.” Likewise, Zinchenko lavished praise on De Bruyne, using the word “masterclass” to sum up his former teammate’s ability. Phil Foden, too, commended De Bruyne, labeling him as “one of the best passers in the world.”
While playing for Manchester City, Phillips had the opportunity to train and compete alongside De Bruyne, and in that time, he gained first-hand experience of De Bruyne’s incredible skill and impact on the pitch. This insight from Phillips carries weight, considering the caliber of players both he and De Bruyne have shared the field with. Despite rubbing shoulders with various other top footballers throughout his career, Phillips maintains that De Bruyne stands out as the best he has ever played alongside.
De Bruyne’s influence extends beyond his club as well, with his prowess being acknowledged on the international stage. Phillips, who has also performed alongside England’s star players, recognizes De Bruyne’s unmatched talent and skill, highlighting his five-time Premier League-winning status as a telling indication of his brilliance.
Overall, Kalvin Phillips’ praise for Kevin De Bruyne only adds to the widespread acclaim and admiration the Belgian playmaker has received from peers, managers, and football fans alike. His impact on the sport is evident not only through his individual accolades, but also through the high regard in which he is held by those who have had the privilege of sharing the pitch with him.
