After the start of the game, Naples fell into a passive early, and Di Lorenzo dyed red, forced Conte to make tactical adjustments. In the 26th minute, Conte replaced De Bruyne, and the whole team gave up the offense and turned to defense. De Bruyne was a little lonely when he ended up, but he respected the coach's decision.
