Quick thought, freshness, numbers, the goal: there is a step between Kevin and the others. His great tour started very well

Kevin de Bruyne began his second life, the Italian one, with a goal. He made his debut in the league marking and impressing, without even having to illustrate the rest of the catalog. And before scoring he had thought too fast for Amir Rrahmani, freeing him in the area. If De Bruyne had stopped his ball, his Neapolitan companion would have ended up offside. In rapid thought – even before passing the ball – there is all the difference between De Bruyne, the Italian championship and also his companions. Yet it had to be the slow one. The gap. The old man. Instead, here he is to build quickly, opening a corridor in the Sassuolo area. Calmly, growing. In addition, De Bruyne puts the experience and the desire to return to cover in defense at the end: sending Antonio Conte into ecstasy and his football belief from the Lutheran glimpses. Becoming the useful card immediately, beyond that of beauty.
