Guardiola: I enjoyed the showdown with Conte, but I didn t expect to meet De Bruyne so soon

Football

In the first round of the Champions League phase, Manchester City will face Naples at the Etihad Stadium. In this game, De Bruyne will return to the Etihad Stadium. In an interview with TNT Sports, Manchester City coach Guardiola talked about topics such as the fight with Napoli coach Conte and De Bruyne's return to the Etihad Stadium.

About playing Conte

I always enjoy these games. I played more with Klopp and I often faced Mourinho in my early coaching career. Of course, there is Conte, whether he coaches Chelsea or Tottenham. I learned a lot from these great coaches, I enjoyed these showdowns very much, and Conte was no exception.

About the team facing Naples

Conte always has outstanding performance and is highly recognized. Naples is indeed very strong, but every opponent next cannot be underestimated. Under this competition system, it is difficult for all teams to deal with.

Regarding De Bruyne's departure and joining Naples

I remember we talked about this issue, and I said, 'If you go to Naples, we will definitely meet. ’But I didn’t expect to meet in the first game. De Bruyne's influence in the frontcourt was immediate and he was an irresistible player and we had to deal with it carefully. I look forward to seeing him after the game and we can have a chat.
