Sacchi impressed by Napoli buying: Conte has chosen true professor in De Bruyne

The former coach of Italy is impressed by Napoli's work on the Markt this summer.

The legend Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City has arrived, while Deals for Bologna defender Sam Beukema and Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca are also close by.

Sacchi told La Gazzetta dello Sport of De Bruyne: “(Antonio) Conte has chosen a real professor. De Bruyne was formidable in (Pep) Guardiola's city and will also be very important at Napoli. He is a serious player who does not have to hang him around. He wants to participate and the Napoli environment.”

On Beukema he also said: “A large center-ridge. Fast, alert, good in the air, always ready to anticipate. Beukema was an important player in the Bologna of Italiano and there is also one in Napoli. With such a player you can even think about defending a little further forward, without falling too deep.”

And Sacchi added to Lucca: “He is a tower that can be used to replace (Romelu) Lukaku. It seems to me that Napoli is on his way to building a team that can compete in the competition and the Champions League. And in my opinion participation is the real unknown factor in the season.

“Inevitably you drop a few points in the competition.”
