«2025 fantastic. Hojlund? It’s becoming dominant.”

Conte calls, Hojlund he replies. At the Zini the Naples of Antonio gives continuity to last Monday’s victory in Super Cup against the Bologna thanks to a great team performance, led by 19 light blue who decided the match with two goals. He can therefore smile Contewho ends 2025 with the three points, and who thus commented on the result at the end of the match to the microphones of Dazn: «We are celebrating a beautiful year. We did something beautiful and unexpected with the scudetto, crowned with the victory of Super Cup. Napoli when he wins he celebrates differently. We are there in the championship, trying to stay close to the top positions classification. This year we are facing several very serious problems, but we are doing so as courageous men. You can win or lose, but they want to make the fans proud.”

«Hojlund? He is certainly a very young footballer, he is 22 years old. And he is a player who can improve a lot. He is becoming a dominant player, he is understanding when to defend the ball and when to attack depth. In my football, attackers are very important and become a point of reference. Annibale said that “se non c’è una strada bisogna costruirla” (Either I will find a way or I will make it)and we are doing it by facing difficulties. I hope to find the injured people, but there are very serious injuries like those of Lukaku e De Bruyne» said the coach.

«We are not ready to command for many reasons. Ours is a journey that has just begun and at a structural level we are not ready. Today, for me, Juventus, Milan and Inter are different from all the others in terms of structure, second teams and salary amounts. We can’t bite off more than we can chew.

When a team that is not among these three wins, it does something extraordinary”, concluded the coach.

The press conference

These, however, are the words of Conte at the press conference: «On a sporting level it was an extraordinary year. When Napoli wins you feel it. Seeing the city’s celebrations makes you always want to see them again, they make you feel good and make you feel important in a city like Napoli. These guys were really good, it’s not easy to win. The work is paying off, but we must gain that strength that we must never squander. As long as we have the right spirit it will always be difficult to play against us. We are enjoying the end of a year we didn’t want to end. We want to start the new year with the aim of making the people who travel so many kilometers to follow us proud.”

«Winning at Cremona it’s never easy. There Cremonese she is trained very well. I consider Nicola very good and getting a result wasn’t a given. We had an excellent race. We continued what we had left in Arabia. If I have to find something negative? We have created many opportunities, but we need to be nastier and calmer in front of goal”, reiterated the coach.

«Lobotka? I don’t need to say how good he is. He was used to playing from play with the line four behind. Now play in pairs with McTominay and he too is doing something extraordinary and expressing his best football. We are playing every three days and the injury situation worries me. We don’t know how and when those who have been out for a long time will be available again. Hojlund? He had suffered several criticisms. Certain characteristics must be found in footballers. Hojlund today he is not an “arrived” playerbut it is becoming dominant. This is the least I can give to these kids. I like to have a carnal relationship with my teamsof depth and trust. My boys are ready to throw themselves into the fire, as am I with them. And for others it will always be hard, no matter what. Spinazzola? He asked for the change because he felt tired and there is no point in taking risks. We know that behind him there is a player like Gutierrez», Conte concluded.
