Kevin De Bruyne, the Napoli playmaker may be nearing the end of his career. But his accumulated achievements have earned him recognition throughout the industry. Even after a friendly match with a lower league team. The game wasn’t over until the final whistle sounded, and he had to smile and take a photo as a memento for a long time to come.
De Bruyne ended his Manchester City career as a free agent at the end of June to join the Azzurri. The defending Serie A champions, hoping to write a new chapter in his football career. สนใจสมัคร? คลิกที่นี่เพื่อเริ่มต้น
But it seems the path is not strewn with rose petals. Because they lost their first warm-up match to Arezzo, a Serie C team, with a score of 0-2 yesterday in a state of physical exhaustion.
The team lost, but the 34-year-old star had something to smile about when players from the Italian third division team lined up to take photos with him, exchange shirts or sign his boots as souvenirs because they were all fans of the Belgian superstar’s performance.
De Bruyne sees this new experience as another taste of life, apart from the experience of being a free agent.
“It’s my first time experiencing free agency – there’s always a guaranteed contract,” he told The Athletic.
“It’s always been easy before. Every summer, I live a simple, quality life.”
“But this year is different. After a long season, I still have to find a new job. I admit that I’m a little stressed because it’s a completely new situation.”
Another reason why KDB is more tired is because they don’t hire agents. They handle all negotiations themselves, which they have been doing since they were at Manchester City. They just have Rock Nation to coordinate the paperwork.
