Arsenal won the first English trophy of the season yesterday. After penalties, they beat fellow countryman De Bruyne’s Manchester City. His buddy Erling Haaland still has some work ahead of him. The Norwegian was not yet involved. “I’m not worried at all, it will be all right”, De Bruyne remains calm.
No new prize for Pep Guardiola’s men. Manchester City lost the England Community Shield final against Arsenal on penalties. De Bruyne himself provided an assist for the first goal. Less notable: Erling Haaland. The Norwegian phenomenon was not involved and was replaced after an hour.
Kevin De Bruyne remains calm and criticizes the role of the media. “You write what you want. I’m not worried at all about Haaland. You expect him to score two or three goals every game. This is still the preparation. Maybe he still has to take the last steps to be fully fit. It will be fine.”
