From sideline drama to assists masterclass
Kevin De Bruyne’s rocky start at Napoli drew headlines after visible frustration with Antonio Conte’s substitutions, especially in the 2-1 loss to Milan. Conte warned he won’t accept repeat behaviour, but the Belgian responded with two assists in the 2-1 Champions League win over Sporting.
Both men insist the issue is settled. De Bruyne has three goals and two assists in seven games—proof that if silence is golden, his right foot must be a luxury watch.
