Former footballer Joe Cole has stirred up controversy by declaring that one Manchester City player is better than Premier League legends such as Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes, and Steven Gerrard. Cole’s bold statement comes after City’s recent victory over Crystal Palace which has boosted their chances of winning the Premier League title.
Kevin De Bruyne was the standout player in City’s win against Palace, scoring two goals including a spectacular equalizer. Cole believes that De Bruyne is the best player of his era, surpassing the achievements of Lampard, Scholes, and Gerrard.
De Bruyne has been a key player for City, winning multiple trophies including five league titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups, and five League Cups. His ability to create chances and score goals has made him stand out among other attacking midfielders.
Cole described De Bruyne’s first goal against Palace as ‘beautiful’ and praised him as the ‘godfather of attacking midfielders in world football’. De Bruyne will now aim to help City win the treble as they approach the end of the season.
With De Bruyne’s stellar performance and Cole’s high praise, City fans are hopeful that their star player will lead them to further success in the coming matches. Stay tuned to Forever Sports Online for all the latest updates on City’s quest for glory.
