Manchester City will meet Italian Palermo, this evening, Saturday, in a final friendly match before the start of the English Premier League competitions during the next season 2025-2026.
Among the players who played in the English and Italian league is the Belgian star Kevin de Bruyne, who moved to Naples after 10 years in Manchester City, between 2015 and 2025, including 9 seasons with Spanish coach Pep Guardiola.
What did Guardiola say about the newly joined De Bruyne?
“Kevin de Bruyne will learn new things in football from Italian coach Antonio Conte in Naples, it is strange to me to see de Bruyne training with Naples, but like all the City family I care very much, and we are confident of presenting great things in the Italian League,” Manchester City coach Guardiola said in comments published by the Italian newspaper “Corriere dello Sport”.
What did Guardiola say about Philipo Inzji, the Palermo coach?
He added: “De Bruyne will learn new things from a great coach like Conte, who is considered one of the best coaches in the world, whether currently or in history.” “Philipo Inzaji was like a cunning fox inside the penalty area, and he knew where the ball would fall, and only great attackers would feel the place of the ball, because if you arrived late one by one, the opportunity has been lost.”
