From the source
Max Allegri insists Kevin De Bruyne ‘is going to really enjoy himself playing in front of the defence,’ but Napoli’s 4-3 win over Bodo/Glimt still created Champions League concerns.
The pressure was really piling up on the Partenopei after a run of dismal results, including back-to-back defeats to Villarreal in the Champions League and Venezia in Serie A.
They ran quite a few risks this evening too, twice allowing Bodo/Glimt to equalise until eventually winning 4-3 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with Matteo Politano’s volley, a Scott McTominay brace, and deflected Giovane effort.
