At the end of the match between Napoli and Sporting Lisbon, Kevin De Bruyne commented on the outcome of the game to Sky Sport. The Azzurri won their first match in this new Champions League, thanks to two beautiful goals scored by Rasmus Hojlund. Here are the Belgian’s words: “Sporting Lisbon is strong both technically and physically, but we played well, even though there was a bit of a naive penalty on our part. We scored another goal and deserved the victory. For the second goal, I was looking for the right moment to pass the ball to Hojlund: I think Rasmus has a lot of quality, he is very similar to Haaland, obviously Erling plays much deeper, while Hojlund plays more on the counter.”
The decisions are made by the coach, I’m playing differently compared to how I played at Manchester City, even though I also played this way there when David Silva was around: we can swap positions and even though I know it’s difficult, today Scott, Frank, Stanislav, and I played well. We’re improving, there’s no problem with Conte: I’m a winner, I want to make a difference. They’ve said all sorts of things but I have no problem with him or with the team. It’s been talked about too much.”
