Allegri want’s the best version of De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne will have another big opportunity at Napoli.Injuries and Antonio Conte's style of play contributed significantly to the Belgian star's first season falling below expectations. The change in management, Kevin's determination to leave a lasting mark in Naples, Aurelio De Laurentiis' stubborn desire to prove that he was right about De Bruyne, and Napoli supporters' unwavering affection for the Belgian, despite everything, provide almost perfect conditions for a change in fortunes. De Bruyne's appearance at Napoli's centenary celebration last weekend, followed by him cutting his holiday short and bringing forward his return to Naples with his family, only strengthened the position of the former Manchester City star. On the other hand, Massimiliano Allegri comes off a season in which he extended the career of Luka Modrić, who is six years older than De Bruyne. Max sees Kevin as a kind of guiding light for Napoli's play next season, a focal point and a source of confidence.Inter Miami building dream team of veterans — now KDB in America too?The first task will be getting De Bruyne back into top shape and working on his off-the-ball movement, which should strengthen the Belgian's physical condition with the aim of preventing further injuries. Napoli will once again be competing on two fronts next season and, following the embarrassment of last season's Champions League campaign under Conte — Napoli finished 30th in the league phase — reaching at least the round of 16 is a must. In that context, a great deal will be expected from De Bruyne's Champions League experience. Allegri initially intended to use Napoli's traditional 4-3-3 formation, but De Bruyne has convinced him to also try a 4-2-3-1, allowing the team to alternate between the two systems, given that De Bruyne's natural position is behind the main striker, Rasmus Hojlund. The Danish striker should benefit the most from an improved version of De Bruyne, given the Belgian's ability to find teammates in space. His 177 assists in 422 appearances for Manchester City are testament to that. "Playing with Kevin is easy. You just have to attack the space because you know his pass will find you sooner or later" Hojlund said.De Bruyne on Conte’s dismissal: "Yes, I am happy about that"Not all Belgians are the same. Romelu Lukaku, as we have already written, is causing Napoli major problems. His behavior is preventing the club from resolving its attacking options in a timely manner. Big Rom has so far rejected offers from the United States and Turkey because he is hoping to find a more lucrative destination in Europe, and for that to happen, he needs to wait until the closing stages of the transfer window. Sporting director Giovanni Manna has set his sights on Gabriel Jesus, who could leave Arsenal. However, to make that ambitious plan happen, he first has to solve the Lukaku puzzle and sell Noa Lang, with Ajax apparently the most interested club.##NAJAVA_MECA_9883864##
