Napoli coach Antonio Conte warns his players, including Kevin De Bruyne, after the Belgian’s outburst during the match against Milan, emphasizing that certain behavior won’t be tolerated.
Antonio Conte, the Napoli coach, has warned his players about their behavior after Kevin De Bruyne’s outburst during the Serie A match against Milan.
De Bruyne openly showed his frustration at being substituted, which didn’t go down well with Conte. Instead of talking to De Bruyne directly, Conte addressed the whole team on Monday, emphasizing that certain behavior will only be tolerated once.
According to reports, Conte’s message was clear: such behavior won’t be accepted in the future. De Bruyne listened to Conte’s warning but didn’t reply. The coach’s main collaborator, Gabriele Oriali, spoke to De Bruyne separately, reiterating that protests like the one he showed won’t be tolerated anymore.
Conte had already expressed his feelings about De Bruyne’s behavior at a post-match press conference on Sunday night. He said that if De Bruyne was upset about the substitution, he had “picked the wrong person” to show his frustration.
