Taking inspiration from Kevin De Bruyne
De Bruyne is one of the best midfielders on the planet and is a world-class player. The Belgium international scores goals and creates chances and is a brilliant footballer.
According to WhoScored, the 29-year-old has scored five goals and provided 11 assists in the Premier League and has scored one goal and given four assists in the Champions League for City so far this season.
Odegaard is only 22 years and has a long way to go before he can get to De Bruyne’s level, but the Arsenal loanee’s admiration of the Belgian shows that he has the determination and aspiration needed.
