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.
