Napoli forward Rasmus Hojlund has expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming match against Juventus, citing the quality of Kevin DeBruyne and Scott McTominay. During an interview on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, the young Swede defined the two players as "fantastic" and underlined his good relationship with them, both on and off the field. Hojlund added that the match in Turin will be crucial for the team and he hopes to get an important victory.
The striker recalled the historical rivalry between Neapolitan and youth fans, highlighting the importance of this match for the Serie A standings. He said that Juventus is a "fantastic team" with a great history and that Napoli must give their all to win. After the match in Turin, the team will have two Champions League matches against Porto and a championship match against Lazio scheduled, before the international break.
Hojlund acknowledged that the three games are “very important challenges”, with two away and one at home. He said a positive week would be possible if Napoli managed to win all three matches, but warned that failure to win could make the pre-break phase more difficult. The player ended the interview with the hope of doing well and continuing to improve the team.
