🚨 De Bruyne makes his big debut for Napoli | OneFootball

Naples suffered a setback in its first summer preparation match, losing 2-0 to Arezzo, a modest Serie C club.

The Italian champion fielded its five new recruits, including Rafa Marin and Spinazzola, but that was not enough to reverse the trend. Despite a good start to the match, the Neapolitans lacked rhythm and cohesion, conceding two goals in the second half.

Kevin De Bruyne, one of the standout recruits of the summer, had a quiet debut in the Napoli jersey. Positioned in support of the attackers, the Belgian showed some flashes of his talent but generally lacked understanding with his new teammates.

His lack of rhythm, due to ongoing preparation, was noticeable, but his influence should quickly grow over the course of the matches.

For Antonio Conte and Naples, the next friendly match against Adana Demirspor will already be an important test to reassure themselves.
