Jack Grealish admits Kevin De Bruyne actually has another ‘ridiculous’ trait aside from his passing
Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne will go down as one of the all-time great Premier League players.
The Belgian is now into his 10th season at the Etihad Stadium, after signing for the club from Wolfsburg for around £55 million in 2015.
Some pundits raised eyebrows over the move. But De Bruyne quickly established himself as a top player at City and has now won all there is to win with the club. He has also won plenty of individual accolades along the way.
De Bruyne is primarily known for his passing ability.
He can execute kinds of passes that very few can, and there is definitely a case for him being the best playmaker in Premier League history.
But there is also another extremely impressive trait De Bruyne has which Jack Grealish has talked up in a new video.
Jack Grealish blown away by Kevin De Bruyne’s shooting ability with both feet
In a new video on the Pro Direct Soccer YouTube channel, Grealish was tasked with answering questions about his Manchester City teammates.
When asked for the player with the most powerful shot, he offered two names; Erling Haaland and De Bruyne.
City fans have seen Haaland almost break the net with some of his finishes since he came to the club just over two years ago.
But De Bruyne has also created an extremely impressive goal catalogue during his nearly 10 years at the club.
Grealish admits that he has never seen a player with such brilliant shooting ability with both feet. He said: “Listen, Kev’s shot, I’ve never seen someone shoot with both feet the way he does. His left foot is ridiculous.
“I don’t know if you remember, two or three years ago in my first season, he scored a hat-trick at Wolves away in the first-half, all with his left foot.”
De Bruyne’s shooting is underrated
De Bruyne is rightly praised often for his incredible vision and passing.
But over the course of his career, he has also been a fantastic ball striker, and some of his goals have been breathtaking.
De Bruyne has one of the best techniques in the game and quite possible, he also has one of the best weak foots in the game too.
The four goals he got against Wolves a few years ago, where three of them came with his weak foot, were certainly memorable.
When the time comes for this legend to leave the club, which may well be next summer, it will be an incredibly painful moment for City fans.
