Napoli’s Smart Move with Hojlund: Insights from Capello

Acknowledgment of Napoli’s Strategy

Former AC Milan manager Fabio Capello has commended Napoli for successfully acquiring Rasmus Hojlund. The Danish forward, currently on loan from Manchester United to Napoli, has quickly found his scoring form.

Capello’s Commentary on Napoli’s Investment

In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Capello remarked, “Napoli opted to invest in talent over the summer, and their efforts are evident. The decision to bring in an additional striker like Hojlund was significant. With Romelu Lukaku’s anticipated return, Napoli will have three capable forwards, including Lorenzo Lucca, which sets them up well for the entire season.”

Assessing Team Performance

Capello continued, “Although Antonio Conte’s squad hasn’t been the most prolific in terms of goals thus far, they remain in good shape. Hojlund’s integration is vital as he is already familiar with the Italian game, making it easier for him to adapt.”

The Pressure of Playing in Naples

He added, “Performing in Naples carries more pressure compared to his previous club Atalanta. However, Hojlund appears to have developed greater maturity during his time in the Premier League, which has helped him realize his true potential.”

A Drive for Redemption

Capello also mentioned, “There seems to be a strong motivation for redemption within him following his stint at Manchester United.”
