================================================================ How Kevin De Bruyne has led Man City evolution this season ----- Belgium manager Roberto Martinez explained how to get the best out of the Manchester City star ================================================================ Kevin De Bruyne can do things that no other playmaker can, according to Roberto Martinez. As well as delighting the Manchester City manager with his exceptional performances this season, the 26-year-old has got his Belgium coach excited ahead of the upcoming World Cup. Former Everton boss Martinez has experimented with De Bruyne's position in the national team and using him as a deep-lying midfielder caught Guardiola's attention last season. Despite the player previously excelling in a wider role, there is little chance of him being moved out there in future given how well he has adapted to a more central position - and the impact it has had on the Blues this season. "As a younger player he always played more in the a wide position, on the right or the left. At Wolfsburg he had a lot of success in that role," said Martinez . "Now it is more important to have him in a central area. "You need to get him on the ball, be able to have a short pass, a long pass and that's where Manchester City have evolved in the last two campaigns. The relationship with Pep Guardiola has got the best out of him. "You're used to City having controlled possession and he's got that [killer] pass. "I don't think there's another profile of that midfielder or playmaker. "He gives tempo to the play. Normally the playmaker has to slow the tempo down and find his own space."
