Man City attacker De Bruyne addresses form doubts: I'm happy - though not at my best

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne admits he's unhappy with his form this season.

However, he insists he hasn't been struggling as some critics have claimed.

He said, "Of course people have different standards for me compared to many players. It just happened.

"People expect me to score and assist every game. I think I play pretty well. I may have fewer assists, but I don't think I'm creating less. I don't really look at these things. I feel myself good. I think my game is ok. I may not play my best football, but I play well.

"You know the statistics yourself - I created the most in the league and have the most assists, although I even missed four or five games. Nothing has changed for me. I'm doing the same thing that I've been doing for the last eight years here and 15 years in my professional career and I feel good."
