Manchester City boss Kevin De Bruyne has challenged his midfielder Kevin De Bruyne to show is world class talent.
The Belgian scored the decisive goal against his former side Chelsea in the Premier League that ended 1-0.
“He has been with me here from day one,” Guardiola told BT Sport. “Everything we have won we have won together. I am going to push him to keep on doing more and more.
“He’s a world-class player who has humility and is humble, it is not easy to find that. He was Player of the Year in this country. He won the team three Premier League and a lot of prizes and still has this [performance] to give. But I want more, I want more because I know he can do it.
“Today, the action he has done, I am so satisfied for him. He has everything. He missed a bit of confidence this season, he was struggling a little bit, but he knows what he can do. He has incredible love from all of us, for being who he is. His mum and dad have to be so proud.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says that he is happy his side didn’t concede many big chances in the game.
The German further stated that his attackers need to step up their game as he admitted that they need more consistency.
“In terms of attitude, commitment and defensive-wise I am happy, we did not allow too many big chances, we kept them to a minimum of big chances,” the Chelsea boss said.
“But our offensive players need to show up more. We need consistency. We could have had much more chances if we played with better timing, better precision.
“That you miss chances, there is no problem in that, but we could have had much more chances. That’s what I’m critical about. The ball losses were too early and too poor and the decision-making was not on the level we need.
“The individual quality of Kevin De Bruyne made the difference today but we struggled to show the quality to really hurt them and score the first goal and bring some doubts into their game.”
