FIFA World Cup: Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne feels the biennial World Cup not a bad idea: Over the last few days, many people have had different point of views on FIFA’s biennial World Cup scheme. Recently Manchester City star midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has expressed his support of the biennial World Cup scheme as he feels that it is not a bad idea.
FIFA World Cup: FIFA’s biennial scheme was mooted earlier this year by former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who now works as chief of global football development for the governing body.
The proposition has been widely criticised by the likes of UEFA and the Premier League.
FIFA plans to publish a report in November, before a “global summit” by the end of the year.

“At the start of the season, I had a meeting with FIFA and Arsene Wenger to explain to us what they wanted to do,” De Bruyne told news agency Belga.
“To do something like that, federations of all countries, UEFA and FIFA have to coordinate. Everyone has to work together.
“I insisted on a second point: I told them that they had to keep a real period of rest for us, the players, at the end of the season.
“The idea isn’t bad in itself, as long as everyone works together,” he continued.
De Bruyne, 30, is set to feature as Belgium host Estonia on Saturday and then travel to Wales on Monday in qualifiers for next year’s showpiece event.
Two points from the last couple of games in the Qualifiers campaign will claim a place at the finals in Qatar next year for the Red Devils. It will probably be the last chance for Belgium’s golden generation to try and win a major trophy on the world stage.
