During the "Premier League" match between "Liverpool" and "Manchester City" in England, Kevin De Bruyne was substituted off earlier than expected. One of the key players for the "citizens" was replaced in the 69th minute and clearly was unhappy about it.

After this decision, the situation had to be explained by the "Manchester City" manager Kevin De Bruyne.

After the match, P. Guardiola explained the reasons for this substitution: "I am pleased to see this.

I like it when he is upset, it is good. At the moment he is happy."

At that moment, I understood what we lacked in the match. We lacked someone who could hold the ball," said K. De Bruyne, who was replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
