During his interview with the BBC on the sidelines of Wimbledon today, Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay shared his thoughts on Kevin De Bruyne`s arrival at the club, his reflections on his first year in Serie A, and the motivations behind his move to Italy from Manchester United:
Napoli fans and your experience in Italy?
`The people in Naples are incredible; they are incredibly passionate, and everywhere you go, there`s someone shouting `Forza Napoli`. They are eager to talk and engage in conversations, which provides inspiration every time you step onto the pitch. Life in Italy is totally different compared to England, from the way you eat to the way you live. It has significantly boosted my mental strength. Previously, I lived close to my family; now I`m 2000 kilometers away and cannot see my mum, my sister, or my children whenever I wish. But sometimes, you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone, and that`s something I`ve always been proud of`.
What impact does a player like De Bruyne have on Napoli?
`He`s an incredible player and will undoubtedly bring immense quality to the squad. Having someone of his caliber in the team is fantastic for us. Bringing players of this quality and mindset into the group is crucially important, and this is the foundation from which we want to build, without settling for what we currently have`.
