De Bruyne: Everything I did in my path as a youth player was everything to become a football player. There were difficult decisions. For me, they seemed easy at the time, but if you look back at the decisions that I made, it’s not what everybody do in their life. Well, I moved away from my parents when I was 14. First year, I was in that big school where you sleep overnight with other people and then, luckily, the second year, I went to foster parents. I’m very good being myself. I’m that shy person and again and after, I thought everything went alright, at the end of the year, I’m fine. People never had to go to school for problems, discipline. I’m fine. The year is over. I said goodbye to the foster parents, not knowing what goes on and then I come home and my parents were like… sad, crying. And I’m like… “What’s wrong?” Foster parents don’t want you to come back anymore.
