🚨 De Bruyne makes his big debut for Napoli | OneFootball

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

The Italian champion fielded its five new signings, including Rafa Marin and Spinazzola, but it was not enough to turn the tide. 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 summer's marquee signings, had a quiet debut in the Napoli jersey. Positioned in support of the attackers, the Belgian showed 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 is expected to grow quickly as the matches progress.

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