Kevin De Bruyne quickly dismissed rumors about deteriorating relations with Antonio Conte after Napoli’s victory over Sporting Lisbon (2:1) in the Champions League.
The Belgian midfielder reacted angrily when he was substituted in the match against Milan, which sparked talks about tension with the team’s coach.
«There have never been any problems with Conte. I am a winner, I want to play football and make a difference on the pitch. A lot has already been said and written, but I just want to enjoy the game and move forward.
At the beginning, I played at City in a similar way, often dropping deeper. That’s a decision from the coach, but I think we can switch positions among the four of us. Without a real left winger, it’s sometimes hard to find depth,» Kevin is quoted by Corriere dello Sport.
