Sport Ex-Chelsea stars claim Kevin de Bruyne was such a ‘bad trainer’ he sparked a fight in training Danny Jones Our aim was clear – to one day be the club that set the benchmark for others. The statistics and results show that in many ways we are beginning to achieve our long-term ambition. Mikel then went on to recount an altercation between him and another former star, Samuel Eto’o, describing how the Cameroonian “had a go at him and they had a massive fight on the training ground just because [De Bruyne] wasn’t putting in the effort… so they had a massive row on the pitch.”

The Chelsea legends made the rather bold claim on a recent episode of retired midfielder Mikel’s self-styled YouTube show, The Obi One Podcast, when the two were discussing if they ever foresaw the likes of de Bruyne and Mohammed Salah going on to become the incredible athletes they have. Several factors contributed to the Club’s record-breaking financial results and continued profitability, including fans returning to the Etihad Stadium and the increase of the Clubs’ wider commercial revenues. As of October 2021, Manchester City was the most valuable soccer club globally, based on the combined transfer value of the squad. The acquisition and development of high-profile players alongside strong performances in the English Premier League has helped the club significantly improve upon their brand value. To demonstrate, Manchester City’s brand value increased by about 370 percent between 2012 and 2022, reaching a peak of about 1.42 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. The squad’s reputation has allowed the club to make higher demands for jersey sponsorships, as seen from the increasing value of Manchester City’s main jersey sponsorship deal with Etihad since 2009. During their two competitive fixtures last week, the club held a minute’s silence and a minute’s applause for their former player and long-serving Director, as well as holding an emotional pre-match dedication on both occasions. @the.manc Rest in peace ❤️ #manchester #manchesterunited #manunited #sirbobbycharlton #football #foryou #manchesterunitedfans ♬ original sound – The Manc Read more: As confirmed in an update from United, Sir Bobby’s funeral service will start at 2pm on Monday, 13 November, with the ceremony celebrating and paying tribute to “Sir Bobby’s incredible life as a husband, father, grandfather and, of course, as one of the finest footballers this country has ever produced.The report also details the success of City’s youth. In addition to an impressive number of first team debuts, City’s Academy won the Premier League Under-18 title and the Elite Development Squad landed the Premier League 2 crown. Therefore, for an incredible second year, City had a clean sweep of the available Premier League titles at Academy and senior level. “This is an unprecedented collective achievement and points to the bright future for our Academy graduates,” says Soriano. In 2008, we gave ourselves the target of exceeding the benchmarks that had been set by others within football; and in doing so, to also exceed the new standards that we believed leading clubs would achieve in the time it would take us to catch-up," he said. The pair did go on to hold their hands up and recognise that being a young player is one thing and learning how to be a pro is another, adding, “Credit to them they’ve gone away and they’ve done what they had to do to become who they are, they’re superstars.”

Six hundred million viewers cumulatively watched City over the course of the season, an audience of 27 million for their league match against Liverpool in April was the most-watched game in any league in the world and the Blues also featured in three of the five most-watched Premier League games that year.

Nevertheless, Mikel did go on to remark: “When I watch Kevin De Bruyne today I’m like, ‘Is this the same guy?!'”. As for Terry, he wondered if his discipline as captain may have been too much and perhaps “they needed an arm around the shoulder” instead to help them settle in. He might be one of the best players in the Premier League if not the world at present, but ex-pros John Obi Mikel and John Terry have insisted they never could have predicted that Kevin de Bruyne would have turned into the player he did — in fact, they went so far as to label him a “bad trainer”.

This of course includes the men’s first team winning the Premier League trophy for a remarkable fourth time in five years under Pep Guardiola’s leadership – and doing it in style, scoring more goals than any other team (99). Additionally, the squad reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, marking 10 Champions League qualifications in the last 10 years and making City the only Premier League club with this achievement over that period. In addition, the club has confirmed that all the plastic will be removed from the floral tributes and will be recycled, with all flowers being composted and used in the gardens at the Carrington Training Complex.
