Stefan Schwoch, former Napoli striker, gave his vision on some hot topics of the Neapolitan team during an interview with TeleVomero. The former player began with a clear statement: “McTominay is not a champion, but he is an excellent player who, when in form, can solve matches”. At this point he added that, in his opinion, Napoli's strongest athlete at the moment is Kevin DeBruyne.
Schwoch then spoke about Napoli's recent performances, recalling the match against Roma. "I expected a victory because Napoli had to provide continuity. We had already played a good match against Roma and Beukema had done something indecent. I liked him against Roma, he had created a lot, but we needed the result", he said. "The victory in Monza must be given the right weight, at this moment we needed the three points. However, Napoli concede too many goals, I would like to see them win with a clean sheet."
The commentator then touched on the issue of Juventus and Spalletti. "If Napoli win in Turin, Spalletti goes away. Juve is out of the question, Napoli are favourites. There is no comparison between Kolo Muani and Hojlund, I choose the Dane", observed Schwoch, referring to the role of the Danish defender in Napoli's defence.
Finally, Schwoch discussed Lobotka's injury, highlighting the player's importance to the team. "Lobotka was a fundamental player, but having tested DeBruyne in that area of the pitch helped. He has a lot of vertical vision compared to Lobotka, he gets into the area, he has much more offensive characteristics, but Lobotka remains a very important player", he stated.
The interview highlighted Schwoch's opinions on the role of some key players, recent matches and Napoli's future prospects, offering a detailed analysis of the team's internal dynamics.
