Hupu, August 8th, Naples midfielder De Bruyne recently accepted an exclusive interview with the "Roman Sports", the following is the second part of the interview.

Have Gallish asked you about Naples?

"(laughs) Maybe... maybe."

How many languages do you know?

"Four kinds."

Mazocchi began to teach you how to speak the Naples dialect?

"No, it's too difficult. I have to learn Italian first, I don't understand it very much now."

How are the new teammates now?

"Very good! I really like my teammates. They are all very good people and the overall level of the team is also very high."

I heard that you also performed on stage at Conte's birthday party?

"It's true, I sang one in English. It was Robbie Williams, but I don't sing in Italian."

What do you think of this Naples?

"It's very strong, the team's quality is very high: they won the Serie A championship last year, but this year is certainly a new challenge, and it will be more difficult to win the championship again. But I think we can do a good job, I'm here because I believe in this team. It has a good structure and a good coach, which is a good foundation."

Are you worried about the results of the warm-up match?

"Not at all. Of course you always want to win, even in the warm-up game, but you know everyone is still training, this is a different stage, we are just halfway through preparation. And I think we played well in the second half against Brest. Again, I'm not worried: everything will be fine."

Mana made you how many times in order to convince you to join Naples?

"Actually, he hasn't made many calls. We have met in Manchester several times, and he has also been to my house. The rest of the time I communicated with my lawyer team about this kind of affairs. Later, my wife also went to Naples and learned about it myself. This is a very normal process."

Have you found a place to live?

"It's still being arranged."

I heard that Juventus has contacted you, is that true?

"I do have communication with a lot of clubs through my agent, but when you are free, that's normal."

Who do you think is the best player in Serie A?

"I usually have a lot of tasks in the game, so I didn't pay much attention to A before. However, I saw the process of Napoli's championship and the situation at the end of the season. I know Inter Milan also has a very strong team."

Then who do you think is the best player in the world at the moment?

"It is hard to say that the ups and downs are very big now, and there are indeed many outstanding players in the world."

said a name that is not within the scope of comparison: Maradona.

"Ah! Legend, he is a legend of the sport. He retired before I played football, so I can only see it in the video material. He is very important in the history of football, has made a lot of contributions to the whole sport, and is of great significance to Naples."

Have you been to the Maradona fresco in the Spanish district?

"Not yet, but I will go. I only stayed in the city for two days, not much time. I went to Capri, and it was really beautiful."

Have you been to Naples with Mertens before?

"Nine years ago, Dris and I visited Naples a few times, but I have not been with Lukaku yet. I want to go and go for a walk with him and learn about the city. They are two of my good friends, and Lukaku and I have known each other since we were 13."

Please forgive this private question: Why did you choose to marry in Saint-Agnello?

"We want more than a wedding ceremony: according to Belgian tradition, you can choose three countries to have three weddings, and Italy is really a very beautiful place. So we took a little look and went to where Dris is. Believe me, it's just a coincidence that we live in now."

So it's the arrangement of fate. By the way, has your family moved to Naples now?

"They are still in England and are currently making arrangements for moving. We haven't fully settled a place to stay and then we need to move things, bring three kids here, preparing for the start of school in September. There's a lot of work to do, and I'm often away from home, and my wife Michelle will probably bring the kids here at the end of August. We've lived in England for ten years and are now adapting to a whole new way of life, but I'm sure everything will go well."

What job would you do without being a football player?

"Only as a player, there is no other job, there is no other job at all. My life is destined to be like this, and it can never be anything else."

Who is your favorite singer?

"I like a lot of different types of music, oldschool, 90s, hip-hop, classical music... I don't have the only favorite singer."

Do you also listen to Noah Lang's songs?

"A little bit, but I don't trust him very much. (laughs)" Is there still "the next de Bruyne"?

"I don't know, and I don't want anyone to become me. You have to be yourself, and I don't want to be anyone else. Everyone has their own talent and uniqueness. When I communicate with young players, I always say: Be yourself and express yourself. There are many ways to learn, grow, and improve your game level."

Why did you choose No. 11 after wearing No. 17 and No. 7 that have been around for so long?

"Because this is the only number available! It's that simple. (laughs)"

How do you spend your leisure time?

"I like playing golf and cage tennis. But my biggest hobby is actually taking my children to play football everywhere. I like to see how they play football. The life with the children makes me very interesting. It is important for me to help them and watch them grow. Doing some ordinary things in daily life makes me feel happy and calm because life itself is crazy. ”

This idea reminds people of Pino Deniere: a legendary idol of Naples. Have you ever heard his song?

"No, but I will listen to it. ”

Two of his most famous songs: "Jeso 'pazzo" and "YesIknowmyway", choose one.

"I will choose: "YesIknowmyway". ”

To win with Naples, right?

"I hope so. Everyone has their own path, I try to live my own way, try to live happily, try to get where I want to go, and enjoy my life. ”
