Pep Guardiola is not surprised Kevin De Bruyne appears to have settled quickly at Napoli.
The former Manchester City playmaker joined the Serie A outfit in the summer after a decade at the Etihad Stadium.
The 34-year-old returns to his old stomping ground this week as City host the Italian side in their Champions League opener on Thursday.
City manager Guardiola said: “It’s not a surprise, players at that level adapt so quick. They don’t need much time to adapt and perform well.”
Asked if he was looking forward to seeing De Bruyne, Guardiola said: “After the game, yes!”
De Bruyne, who won six Premier League titles and the Champions League with City, has scored twice in his opening three Serie A games for Napoli.
Asked what makes him so successful, Guardiola said: “His incredible talent, vision, passing, goals in the final third. He is unique.”
