De Bruyne: I couldn't let Man City chance slip

Kevin de Bruyne admits he couldn't turn down the chance to join Manchester City.

De Bruyne left Wolfsburg for City this summer.

"Last season I played perhaps too much," said De Bruyne. "I missed only half an hour or 45 minutes of 61 or 62 games for Wolfsburg so that was a lot of games.

"It's probably better for me to play 40 or 45 games and occasionally be rested and therefore still be full of energy at the end of the season. I was probably a bit eager to play all the time at Chelsea and maybe should have taken it a little bit more slowly. I have moved a lot in the last few years and I am hoping I can stay here for a while.

"I also said the same at Wolfsburg, that I would stay there two to three years minimum, which is also better for me, but when you get an opportunity like this, it is difficult to decline."
