His name is Kevin De Bruyne; he was bought by Manchester City with a price that fairly make the head shaking. However, it seems appropriate for City to expend so much money.

De Bruyne, 24, signed by City from VfL Wolfsburg for 55 million pounds and secured with long-term contracts: six years. Is De Bruyne deserve appreciated expensive? If you see a note that he recorded in final season with Wolfsburg, it so argued that De Bruyne commensurates with the value of 55 million pounds.

Last season, De Bruyne appeared on every weekend on Bundesliga, scoring 10 goals, creating 111 chances, making 20 assists. The note was fairly impressive, of course. Arguably, De Bruyne is a major actor of the  Wolfsburg position in second place -- under Bayer Munich.

Wednesday (4/13/2016) early morning, De Bruyne made the whole Etihad Stadium cheered. He slid on his knees while tens of thousands of Citizens supporters  Citizens clapping and amazed by the goal he had just scored.

Got the ball right slightly outside the penalty area of Paris Saint-Germain, De Bruyne did not waste any time. After doing one touch with his right foot, he is then kicking the ball curved toward the far post. PSG goalkeeper Kevin Trapp had been trying to jump to reach the ball but failed.

The goal was bringing City won 1-0 and qualified for the Champions League semifinal. This was history for the club, and De Bruyne was the one who made such history.

De Bruyne figure is easier to remember. His body neither too thin nor too stocky. His skin was white, almost pale. Her hair was reddish. Some people refer to it as 'Ginger Pele'.

But, for some others, De Bruyne like Tintin, Herge's comic fiction (the pen name of cartoonist Georges Prosper Remi). See, Tintin was also white, reddish hair, and -- same like De Bruyne-- also from Belgium.

Tintin is one of the Belgian icon -- and also the city of Brussels, as well as Atomium, Grote Markt, Manneken Pis, and Heysel Park. Tintin was told came from Brussels and, as Herge, also comes from the working class. His age was about 20 years and lived in the apartment along with his dog, Snowy.

At an angle that is not too glamorous in Brussels, an image of Tintin coming down the stairs with Snowy and his friend, Captain Haddock, large plastered on a wall. Not so far from the dull wall, there is a shop selling various editions of Tintin comics.

Tintin worked as a journalist, which makes him dealing with events and cases that make it must carry out a series of investigations to solve it. Ultimately, Tintin is more like a detective than a reporter.

Tintin character which is often described as a problem solver also similar to De Bruyne. See how De Bruyne, at the end of last week, entered in the second half when City was in tie position with West Bromwich Albion.

The entry of De Bruyne, plus Yaya Toure, making City's attacks more lively. He also initiated the creation of a City's second goal, who scored by Samir Nasri-- through an attack from the right side. Carefully, he saw Jesus Navas, who went into half-space area and sent a breakthrough pass to the Spanish winger.

Navas then sent a pass to Sergio Aguero, and despite Aguero kick was blocked, the rebounded ball immediately struck by Nasri.

De Bruyne also scored an away goal into PSG last week, when City drew 2-2 at Parc des Princes. It also provides a good advantage to the City through an away goal.

Now, from 35 appearances in all competitions, De Bruyne has been incised 15 goals and made 11 assists. Not a bad record, especially when considering that he was disturbed injury in mid-season.
