De Bruyne: Only thanks to the fans; it is really hard to win the Premier League by 100 points

May 24th De Bruyne is about to leave Manchester City. He expressed his gratitude to the fans in an interview with the club's official website, and he also talked about his feelings about achieving brilliant achievements.

What do you want to say to the fans?

"The only thing I can say is thank you, thank you for supporting me, supporting the team, the club, my family and children. It is an important and positive force for me and my family. This feeling is special because for my family, it is like home, and my children were born here. It is difficult for me to say clearly how I feel about all this and how grateful I am, so I can only say thank you."

During your time at Manchester City, you won 6 Premier League, 5 League Cups, two FA Cups, and the first Champions League in history, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup

"It's hard, it's hard to continue the victory, and it's also hard to motivate yourself. It's hard for us to explain this process, because I think the outside world can't quite understand what it needs to be an athlete. The limit does not exist, the real limit is the next limit. You have to keep pushing yourself, because there will always be a moment, it will decline. Just like what you see this season, as long as you slide a little, the entire team will face a huge blow.

"I think one of the meanings of sports competition is that you can't always win, even if you want to win, if your level drops a little, you can't always win. These honors show our consistent performance over the years, and we won four consecutive championships and no one can do that. There is a reason for this, it is really difficult. ”

Manchester City won the Premier League championship with 100 points in the 17-18 season. Will there be a team replicate this achievement?

"Maybe, but it's really hard. We won the championship in the following season very close to 100 points (98 points), and I remember Liverpool also got close once (Liverpool won the championship in 19-20 season with 99 points). In 38 games in a season, you can only lose or draw two or three games.

"So it's really hard to maintain consistency in winning every game. And by the end of the season, you have to thrust yourself all the way to win the game. So I don't know if the Premier League 100 will happen again, but at least we've done it, and it's really awesome achievement."
