Antonio Conte Sees Champions League Clash as Students vs Masters Versus Pep Guardiola's Side
Napoli's head coach has described that his squad's first Champions League match versus the English champions will be a battle of "students against the professors," mentioning that he sought advice from Kevin De Bruyne about his former club.
The Italian Club’s Return to the Champions League
Although being Serie A title winners, the manager considers his side as a work in progress as they gear up for their maiden fixture in the new 36-club structure of the tournament.
"We're certainly playing against where legacy is undeniable," the Napoli boss commented. "They are a top club with a world-class coach. We come with immense humility after an amazing season previously."
De Bruyne’s Insight and Role
Kevin De Bruyne joined Napoli on a free transfer during the off-season following ten years at the Etihad club. Conte disclosed that he consulted him for tips about his former team.
"I’ve spoken to Kevin, I asked him a few questions about City," the manager added. "He was a member of this club for 10 years and had a brilliant coach like Pep Guardiola."
McTominay’s Influence and Revival
The midfielder moved to the club from United in 2024 and played a key role in leading the team win the league title previously.
"I knew him when he played with Manchester United," Conte recalled. "I saw great talent in this player and wondered why he wasn’t performing at his best in England."
"The opportunity arose to sign McTominay, honestly initially I didn’t believe it was possible," he added. "It did and now he is thriving with us."
The Young Striker’s New Beginning
Rasmus Højlund additionally arrived on loan from United recently and scored on his debut against the Viola.
"In my opinion we are discussing a talent with enormous potential," said Conte. "He is only 22, meaning he has a entire career to look forward to. It falls on me to help him improve and become a top striker."
