Kevin De Bruyne prioritizes hard work over dreams. That's the only way he's confident he'll achieve his goals.
With 24 trophies won in his career, it cannot be said that his method is not successful.
Free after the end of his long and successful adventure with Manchester City, the Belgian veteran has chosen Napoli to continue his triumph.
A new and fascinating challenge, in which he is completely immersed.
Interviewed exclusively by "Corriere dello Sport", De Bruyne reveals the reasons that led him to choose Napoli, the objectives he aims to achieve and also talks about the differences between the methods of Antonio Conte and his former coach Pep Guardiola.
De Bruyne starts the interview by explaining why he chose Napoli: "Honestly I had other options, but after talking to my wife and children, I thought this was the best choice.
I evaluated all the factors, work and life, career and future. Moreover, it is the champion of Italy, an extraordinary team.
"Having faced it in the Champions League I know what it feels like to play for this club. I know the fans, their passion and support. Napoli gave me the best feeling."
De Bruyne also spoke about Antonio Conte's training method: "Which muscle hurts the most? All of them! (laughs) It's difficult and very different from what I was used to in England, but I feel good.
"I'm coping with all the training and I'm very happy with what we're doing. This kind of training does me good, it's a good thing."
The Belgian analyzes the differences between the two great coaches: "They are two different ways of playing. Maybe Pep is more focused on ball control and possession, while Conte is more structured and puts a lot of emphasis on mentality.
"Pep works more on a zone basis. I see some differences between the two, but every coach has his own principles and characteristics."
With 24 titles in his career, De Bruyne has no intention of stopping: "If I could choose my 25th personal trophy? Most likely, the Serie A title, yes.
However, I don't like to choose, I'll take everything I can get. I've never played in Italy, so the championship would be a nice objective. It would be very cool.
"There are many competitions, we hope to go as high as possible in all of them, but everything depends on many factors: opponents, injuries and others. The end of the season is determined by what happens during it."
De Bruyne speaks highly of the group: "Napoli is strong, they have a lot of quality. Last season they won the championship, but this year a new challenge will begin and winning it again will be difficult.
However, I think we can do great things. I came for this because I believe in this team.
"Napoli has a good structure and an experienced coach. They are excellent foundations."
