Vincent Kompany believes former Manchester City Kevin De Bruyne is the world's best player when executing a manager's tactical plan - setting him apart from fellow Belgian Eden Hazard during the pair's prime.
De Bruyne enjoyed another outstanding season at the heart of midfield as City secured an illustrious treble. The 31-year-old racked up an incredible 28 assists across all competitions, with 10 goals of his own to boot.

Kompany had the pleasure of playing with De Bruyne and Hazard for Belgium, often comparing the two. "I say this a lot but they asked me the question at the time when Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard were at their primes, and they said who is the better player, Eden Hazard or Kevin De Bruyne?
