De Bruyne was abandoned, but when the money came, his family wanted to take him back 

This makes you understand why he was so upset when David Silva and Fernandinho wouldn't let him talk.

i've gained even more respect for De Bruyne now. very admirable player

I originally liked De Bruyne because he was good at the game and won the EPL at least once, but now I know the true story. What a legend.

So inspiring. I was stabbed quite badly in 2020 and thought my life was over, but because it happened I ended up moving 480 miles and meeting a lady from Brazil who I’m planning to marry and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. It’s crazy how negatives can pave the way for life changing positives. Maximum respect to Kevin 👊🏼♥️

He came from a humble and disturbing background. Everything turned against him except what he does best Football. He only cried when he couldnt play football. This tells us football is his life. Mad respect on KDB. Tough character.

De Bruyne is my favorite player to watch bar none. The weight of pass, the accuracy, the power. Oh yes.

I’m a Chelsea fan but Kevin De Bruyne is absolutely one of my favorite players of the modern game, he is a complete midfielder and a true professional. I have so much admiration for his determination and his work rate, this is such a well thought out and presented video and I commend you for telling us this story so eloquently. Thank you.

When he was at Wolfsburg I fell in love with his style of play, midfielders like him, who simplify football on an elite level is something tranquil to witness.

His story shows that there's no one for you in this world except for you. People will call you when everything's good and leave you cold when you need them the most.

I’m a Liverpool fan and not exactly thrilled when he does well against us. But I have to say that football-wise, he’s literally the complete player. He has no weaknesses at all, and is an 8 or 9 out of 10 in literally every department. My favorite player in the prem outside my own team for sure.

The defination of " A broken man is more dangerous than a hungry lion". Goat Kevin De Bruyna 🐐

Have to say I respect this guy even as a United fan. More so after this video because of how he channeled his pain into his game and became an absolute monster. What a player.

Kevin De Bruyne's story is a pure example of overcoming major obstacles to become one of the best Soccer players in the world. I wish him nothing but continued success.

He turned football into art with his assists, long live King KDB 💙

What an inspiring story! From being abandoned by everyone to achieving everything he dreamed of

Kevin deserve a ballon'dor cuz he is the most versatile player I have ever seen, he can score, make assists, defend....everything he is a complete player with strong mentality many problems came to his life but he never let his mind go off the game... Huge respect for him man.. 🔥❤

I know that feeling. When you tried your best to avoid problem yet problem still finds you. But really De Bruyne clearly handled it much better than me

What a great capture. He breaks my heart and next to Messi Kevin Debruyne is one of my favs. Such a soldier of heart. I love players like this.

I have been watching this man week in week out for the past 7+ years and what an absolute blessing that has been. He has created things I never thought imaginable. His ethic and commitment is second to none. He's shown everybody that he is a premier league legend and I was there for that, I'll never forget it. KDB is the best in the world at what he does and a legend of the game 👑

My son is huge Man City fan ! One thing I cherish is weekend mornings watching with my son ! And over the years I’ve watch KDB become the heartbeat of this team ! What an incredible player and person !

You can see a difference in Tenacity in his eyes. He has a different presence to other players. Always a pleasure to watch you Kevin.

de bruyne is one of the best midfielders of all time, he just makes u love the game by making it seem so easy, i mean i think many people have seen de bruyne and attempted to curve balls like him in their school

After haaland join city , the world witnessing how good kdb really is when his teammate didn't waste the chance he created . Definitely top 3 midfielder in this era.

KDB is one of the best midfielders of all time, in my opinion. Hearing his story (i didn't knew shit apart from the Cortouis situation) just made me respect him even more. He could have just given up, but he powered through, and became one of the defining players of his generation. Inspiring stuff.

As a Chelsea fan still in shock someone decided to let him go. Fantastic player, still enjoy watching him apart from against us of course.

As a Newcastle fan I only know him as brilliant player without knowing any of his life story, the player and the man he has turned himself into, he should be very proud of himself👏

Shed a couple of tears here and there... A great story. Earned a lot more respect.

I've never heard of a foster family ditching a child for being too quiet. Extremely quiet kids need the most stability and take the most time to trust. It's absolutely disgusting that they did that to him.

Beautiful, beautifully made story. I watched this 14mins long video in 30 mins, getting goosebumps. I love this guy.. his technique and vision of passing and scoring is exceptionally exceptional.. always enjoyed his matches.. love u man.. PS the narrator also does his best part to match the dramatic life journey of our main man

De bruyne is already a legend I just wish he didn't miss a huge number of matches every season

I'm from Belgium. So i can confirm, he is the best player in the world... The passes he gives... OUT OFF THIS WORLD! So sometimes, when he delivers a stunning pas, i just started crying. I love him. #17 #ManCity #TheBestOffTheWorld #🖤💛❤️. #💙.

This story should be a staple read in schools it is a story of great resilience,and survival ......what an amazing young man ,from🇬🇧

Absolute Beast. One of the most intelligent players of all time. Straight up on of the best midfielders of all time. Ridiculously two footed, accurate and deceptively fast. Definition of a Maestro. ❤️

So my two takeawys are 1) when he played with anger he was really good, when he played with love he's unstoppable. Love over everything people and 2) surround yourself with the right people, in KdB's case his wife and Pep and you give yourself the foundation to achieve great things. You still gotta put in the work but cut the toxicity from your life and that hard graft is more likely to bring success. Big up KdB.

United supporter here.. I have to say that this kid... When he plays its like watching a Rolls Royce. Smooth, Graceful, Elegant, Simplicity in its purest form. The way I like to see the game being played.

He has ALWAYS been my favorite player. At Wolfsburg you could tell he was going to be amazing. Pure class.

De Bruyne is a complete player, he's a very good pace, foot walk, accurate pass, goal experience etc. The guy is all in one

Now he is the best midfielder in the world. The things I would do to make this guy play for Liverpool.

I don’t follow European football but I will pray for this young man. His story is compelling.

God bless you, De Bruyne. You're an example to follow.

His work ethic and determination reminds me of Michael Jordan . Money didn't make either of them complacent. They wanted to win and put everything into it.

Story and his background so well done. Had me glued throughout. I think he is an inspiration for many youngsters as well. I hope the best for him.

What a lovely person a man who knew what he wanted, rejected by people looking for perfect children, shame on society! I have always respected this guy as a footballer now I respect him as a person. Love you man x

Good job De Bruyne. Greatness has always been within you. Thanks for sharing his story

De Bruyne and Thierry Henry are the two players I would pay extra to watch. Totally outstanding.

Mad respect for Kevin I love this guy, mad respect to you for making those videos! Thank you for helping us with those videos

Everything about Kevin is adorable. His character, his football super skills, and now hearing all this, I can't respect him more.

I told you before, I tell you again, you're doing a great job! Thank you for all these amazing documentaries! Well done!

As a Man City fan am so thrilled that he plays for our team and a big thanks to pep for believing in him Love you Kevin💙💙

Now I've become a fan of this man, because he is the definition of the word "man", for all the adversity he faced and conquered.

I am from Drongen and each year there is an event named the Kevin Debruyne Cup wich is a football tournament for young players and you can meet Kevin himself there

Kevin De Bruyne is my favourite player currently, I've been watching Manchester City long before his era but when he came he changed the club for the better, he became the best midfielder in modern football for more than half a decay, passing, dribbling, shooting, everything he does with perfection despite of his success he is a great and humble person, I simply love him!!!

He's such a fighter and a inspiration to the game and life struggles

Good on the lad for achieving after so much adversity. In my opinion he is the best all round player in our UK premiership. Underated big time. 👍

Never heard of him, but know about him now! What an inspiring story! Hope his life is filled with good people and balance.

Amazing story and amazingly presented too! Even the "like button" was excellent - short and fun. You have a gift buddy - I hope one day you'll become the DeBruyne of documentaries! :)

When he was only seven years old, he predicted already he would win the greatest trophies. And he added ''I m not doing it for anyone, even not for y parents but only for the joy to lift up those greatest trophies''

KDB will remain one of my favourite players,he’s just a treat to watch.Even if im a Liverpool fan,he’s still one of the greats in my opinion and as a fact

Coming from a former foster child, I can completely understand where KDB is in pain. But mine was people who made me miserable at school who are now on benefits and I'm working at a fast food restaurant and on a decent wage. Never mind his success, he's kept that pain close to his heart and reminded himself of all the hardships he's gone through and it made him more of a better person. I might not like he's a Liverpool fan who plays against us, but he shows so much respect for everyone around him

this is a perfect video for all those who have a difficult past. dont give up, no matter what. when you have a dream to achieve, only you matter

This video keeps me alive again. Nothing is impossible.

Better than any movie you can watch. Deeply emotional.

Your awesome bro. Great content, well done from a new subscriber. Thanks again.

Great video man, this story needs a 2024 update :) so much has happened with the treble and so on

My fifa 13 Chelsea reserve, weak foot 5 star long shot taker boi. That fact that you shone so 'late' in your career overcoming so many obstacles resonates with me deep within and for this I'll ever be grateful DB17 💙

You forgot to mention the tragady of the late junior Malanda, he was also a big Belgium talent and good friend (probably that friend who made him connect with his wife). Both played togheter at wolfsburg. Malanda died in 2015 in a car crash while on the way to pick Kevin up at the airport.

hey man i just want to say great job with the videos. i have taken an interest in football again after a 20 year hiatus and all my old heroes have long retired. c. ronaldo and messi were JUST getting started and looked like children, zidane was getting ready to retire and ronaldo was still the man - but always hurt. i could never get back into it because i hadnt kept up with the players. your vids have accelerated the personal part of football which has made the whole experience much more enjoyable. thank you and keep up the good work!

I have been binging your videos and your excellent research and presentation has made me greatly appreciate the challenges these players experienced in their lives.

I'm a Man Utd supporter but think this guy's a Legend.

This is one of the craziest stories Ive ever watched but glad I did! A lot of inspiration to take from this vid just for life in general, let alone sports. Well made!

when u watch some players, u know u r watching greatness. he is one the greats...simply incredible!! what a story...there's a movie in there.

So beautiful and how humble he is… He’s already a legend.., he’s one of my favorite players outside my team Liverpool.

Power, Vision, Touch, Drive, the complete midfielder. I can watch him play all day long. I'm a long standing Everton fan and he's like seeing Alan Ball, Colin Harvey and Howard Kendall in one body and with a lot more to spare.

What a compelling story. Soccer was my first love of ALL loves. It was my passion, so I can totally relate to his quest. Soccer was the one thing I excelled at. It seriously took my brain away from the abuse I was receiving at home. Three times I injured my knee severely starting In tenth grade and subsequently two more times and finally had to forgo soccer once and for all. Knee replacement on Thursday 9, June 2022. I’m actually looking forward to it. I’m tired of the pain. I had never heard of this soccer player. Glad I turned on RU-vid tonight before I go to bed.

I'm a tottenham fan but young man any team in the premiership would love to have you you are a true inspiration to young kids who are going through what you have been through, we done on your amazing achievements, so proud of you 👏

His parents didnt abandon him. He was stayin with a foster family to be able to play at this club that was far from his home. But his biological parents were always with him.

That pass to the far post that won him EPL. A legend

You are amazing! The narration, the story-telling, the info given.. I love your videos. But pleeeeeeease do a video on the Brazilian Ronaldo!!!!! 🙏💙 keep up the amazing job

Such a positive content. I am subscribing. You will go far than you are currently for posting this.

thanks for the video. i learned a lot. i've gained even more respect for De Bruyne now. great football player and a tough character.

An artist who can change the match at any time! He's the best creator I've ever seen! He's master a true master without him City is nothing! A man who fought against his owns and yet he's the one who always come up with big numbers! No matter what if he scores or not he's the best! On his day he's the greatest player and yeah comparable to Great Messi! He's a mixture of Modric and kross Xavi and Iniesta! He's the assist king but the way he helped his team mates is just of another level sometimes I feel like he's impeccable m exaggerating now lol but yeah he's the best I've ever love! Cr7 and LM10 gives me motivation and this man gives me peace'. There's many more players out there i like but this 3 are the top ones for me! I bet the optimism he has no one in the history of football had that!

Dude I cried watching this 😭I can’t believe he had such a sad growing up and kept pushing on and has done this. OH. MY. GOD.

What a guy went through so much and came out a winner. God be with you. You didn't give up I'm not your Mom but so proud of you

If any of you lovey people are Werder Bremen Fans you will remember in 2012 de bruyne was loaned out to Werder Bremen and it made us so much better

Seeing KDB's style and demeanor, reminded me of old school footballers. His warrior-like mentality, that is so rare in modern footballers, shocked me. Like I'd said, he is quite old school. It's rare seeing footballers who treat the game like a battlefield nowadays. Hell, even David Beckham was a beast. For those of us who saw Becks play, we remember a warrior, not a supermodel. Dude put on a war face and was out for blood.

Troubled childhood background is forever fuel for success to legends... KDB on pitch guy looks like he's possessed... with fire in his eyes.. he truly deserves more respect.. what a world class player he is! If great footballers are just "stars" this guy is a real "super star" ...great content dude..With respect from Uganda's Kampala city...

hes always been my favorite player, i wear number 17 because of him and watching this makes me respect him even more.

And he won the treble and he is the best midfielder of the generation ❤

So happy for you Kevin De Bruyne, your lovely wife and beautiful children. All the best to you

Beautiful story, I feel very happy for the young guy, about his family, is a very delicate situation. Wish him happiness.

man, parabens ja vi varios videos teus e tenho a dizer que tens muito jeito ! agradeço o trabalho a que te das para fazer estes videos !

Lovable player! So skillful in the midfield it’s amazing seeing him dribbling down the field.

I did not think I could have anymore respect for the best player in the premiership, but this video has given me even more admiration!

It wasn't about "who he was", it was about who they were.

Respect to Kevin. And thank you for a very informative video.

Saw him first at Bremen, then at Wolfsburg. Everyone always knew this is the next world star. 8:05 Since you talk about it, i have to say something about that He arrived in Bremen and was just a machine. Playing in a physically demanding side (IIRC) and just doing his assists like they were nobodies business. He had a workhorse mentality in a workhorse country, at a workhorse club. He was few in words and heavy on ambition. He had the greatest technical ability of the team and, in fact, of most of the Bundesliga. At 21. He was immediately compared to Diego (a legend at Werder Bremen/in the Bundesliga and a flop at Juventus). When he moved to Wolfburg he became worldclass, set a assist record that only was recently broken by Müller at Bayern and left for a huge sum and without chaos. You just cant say anything bad about his time in the league, hence we all were just impressed lol

"Messi sits on a table all by himself, but De Bruyne can certainly sit on a table beside it". I 100% agree with this.

One of the best midfielders in the world for sure. The best player in PL right now along with Mane and Salah.

This man is a trooper! Amazing, strong, unique.

a complete player even after going through such situations is so humble. Everything except for football turned their backs against him& he still made it to the top of the game.
