Kevin De Bruyne arrived at Napoli as a free agent last summer from Manchester City, but his time at the club was marred by a serious thigh tear that required an operation. The midfielder expressed frustration with Antonio Conte's tactics, but has now found a new lease of life under Max Allegri. De Bruyne set up Antonio Vergara for the second goal in Napoli's 2-0 win over Genoa in their opening Serie A match of the season.
Napoli finished second in the previous season, and De Bruyne is hoping to do better this time. His injury record has been a concern, with two surgeries and a hernia in the last three years. Manchester City decided not to offer him a new contract due to his injury record, allowing him to leave for free in 2025. De Bruyne is working hard to help the team and is confident that they will support him in his recovery.
Napoli will face Inter Milan in their next Serie A match, which will be a tough test for the team and De Bruyne.
