Imaginary Conversation Between Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin De Bruyne: Hey Riyad! Just finished watching the replay of your goal last weekend. That was some magical left foot action, mate!
Riyad Mahrez: Thanks, Kev! You know, I’ve learned from the best. The number of assists you lay on a platter for us, it’s a source of endless inspiration.
Kevin De Bruyne: Oh, stop it. Now you’re just flattering me. But seriously, how do you manage to twist defenders like that? I swear they look like they’re in a dance-off when you dribble past them.
Riyad Mahrez: (laughs) It’s all in the hips, my friend. And years of practice on the streets back in Algeria. You should join me for a friendly one-on-one sometime, see if you can keep up.
Kevin De Bruyne: Ha! As tempting as that sounds, I think I’ll stick to my assists. But, hey, speaking of Algeria, you must be excited about the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. Defending the title and all.
Riyad Mahrez: Absolutely. It’s a huge honor to represent Algeria, and the support from the fans is unbelievable. Plus, I get to bring some of that experience back to our squad. Imagine a bit of Algerian flair added to our Premier League campaigns! What about you? How’s the family?
Kevin De Bruyne: They’re great, thanks. The kids keep me on my toes more than any match. Speaking of which, when you’re not weaving through defenders or dazzling us with those free-kicks, what do you do to unwind?
Riyad Mahrez: Honestly, I’m a bit of a gamer. FIFA, of course. Though, controlling a digital version of myself is still a bit surreal. How about you? You seem like a Netflix binge-watcher.
Kevin De Bruyne: Guilty as charged! Recently hooked on this crime thriller series. But seriously, Riyad, kudos for balancing the pitch and personal life so seamlessly. Any secrets?
Riyad Mahrez: Ah, it’s all about finding the right rhythm. On and off the field. But, we both know it helps having a team that feels like family. Speaking of which, what do you say we grab a coffee tomorrow and maybe brainstorm some celebrations for our next goals?
Kevin De Bruyne: Sounds perfect. Let’s give the fans something to talk about! Catch you tomorrow, magician.
Riyad Mahrez: See you, maestro.
