Ryan Christie has admitted that he aspires to be just like”class action” Kevin De Bruyne following the Belgium midfielder dominated the 4-0 win over Scotland.
The Manchester City star set up aims for Romelu Lukaku, Thomas Vermaelen along with Toby Alderweireld as the visitors ruthlessly punished errors by Steve Clarke’s side in their Qualifier .
The curled with ease in the 82nd minute in a fourth to round off the grading along with also Celtic midfielder Christie has been amazed after fighting injury last 47, with De Bruyne, who has begun his domestic season in fine fashion.
“He’s a class act,” Christie said. “All these are the sort of players that I expect to. He is in a similar position to me. The places the way he along with he selects strikes his finishing along with teams .
“The ball in for their next goal was frightening and his end for its fourth is pretty impressive as well.
“It is good for me. I need to test myself against the top teams in the world so it’s a learning experience for me so hopefully I learn from it and proceed.”
After losing 2-1 at home night, the conquer has been the fourth out of six at Group I which leaves them at place of Scotland and with no stage.
The side of clarke have San Marino at home per month and four games remaining, Russia off, before Cyprus away and Kazakhstan at Hampden in November. Christie insists he is convinced of Scotland qualifying for a significant tournament for the first time since 1998.
He explained:”Moving into it (the effort ) we’d the play-offs because of fall-back, we didn’t wish to have to work with it but it seems like we’re going to get to if we are going to make it there.
“Clearly they had been two quite disappointing effects but after that, we still feel like a group. We’ve taken more of the thoughts of their manager . I believe there are a couple advantages we can take out of this although I know that it seems daft getting beat 4-0 at home.
“It is the minor things that cost you in this level in football, particularly against a team such as Belgium. They scored in their first counter-attack. It is tough to nullify and the grade they have when they move ahead is exceptional.
“That is the amount we’re trying to reach. We’ve got four games left in the team to finish as large as we could and take that in the play-off.”
