Kevin De Bruyne, the Belgian star of SSC Napoli, has just admitted that he does not feel completely satisfied with his new position at the club, despite scoring two goals in a recent match. De Bruyne said: "I've always been a player who plays as a number eight or number 10."
Since joining Napoli more than a year ago, De Bruyne has struggled to replicate the impressive form he showed for Manchester City and the national team, partly due to injury. In the match against Frosinone, he played in a deeper position in the 3-4-3 formation that the new coach applied, and as a result, Napoli won 3-0. De Bruyne scored two goals, one from a penalty kick and one from a close-range finish after an assist from Giovane, in addition to a goal from Noa Lang.
"I'm not an emotional person, I'm very realistic," De Bruyne told Sky Sport Italia. "We played well in the first half, but there were moments where we could have done better, especially in the second half when we should have kept the ball better. You could see in the last 15 minutes, when we kept the ball, it was difficult for them to get into rhythm and we had problems with that in the beginning of the second half."
The 32-year-old player also said he did not want to get too used to his new role. De Bruyne said: "I have always been a number 8, a number 10. Positions can change over time, but I have always been an original number 8, number 10. Today they asked me to play a different role, because we have a lot of injuries in the middle. Lobotka and Gilmour have played four matches for the national team, and because I was absent in the last match against Belgium, they wanted to rest the other players, while we had nine games in the next few weeks. It's a busy schedule, I try to help and that's all. We worked well at the beginning of the season, we're trying to look ahead, and we'll see what happens in the coming games."
As for teammate Noa Lang, he also stood out in this match but was not too concerned when De Bruyne scored the second goal. "It's not important to me, the most important thing is that we win the match. He deserves it," Lang told Sky Sport Italia. The former PSV Eindhoven player said he had a difficult year but is very happy to be back. "My mind has gone back to zero, new coach, new opportunity, let's start again. Let's consider this just the beginning and hopefully we will have a great season," Lang concluded.
What happens next
Napoli will need to solve the problem of De Bruyne's position to optimize his abilities in upcoming matches. The new coach may consider adjusting De Bruyne's scheme or role so that he can best utilize his abilities. For Noa Lang, the opportunity for a new start can open up many prospects for him in the next Serie A matches.
