Statements that confirm the feeling that emerged from the field: a team aware of its strength, compact, yet focused on the journey and not the destination.

Rrahmani: “Clear identity and great solidity”

Amir Rrahmani, who scored the second goal, analyzed the performance starting from the decisive episode: “We always prepare for these situations in training. I'm happy to have found the goal again, I missed it and had been waiting for it for a long time. But the most important thing remains the team's victory.”

The Kosovar defender then broadened his view to Napoli's current moment, highlighting defensive continuity: “It's the fourth consecutive 2-0 win, which means we are a solid team. We have structure, physicality, and players who can be dangerous in any situation. We must continue on this path, without thinking that anything is taken for granted: in football, everything can change quickly.”

A clear message, focused on balance and concentration, despite the numbers indicating an extremely positive phase.

Politano: “We want to stay up front”

On the same line, Matteo Politano, a protagonist with two decisive assists. The offensive winger emphasized the importance of the approach to the game: “We wanted to start the new year well, especially against a strong team like Lazio, which always creates difficulties at home. In the first half, we were good at dominating the game and closing the match immediately.”

Politano also looks beyond the single victory, projecting onto the seasonal goals: “Can we do better than 2025? That's what we want, but we know it won't be easy. We are committed to three competitions and want to face them all to the fullest. In the league, the goal is to stay close to Milan, waiting to see what Inter will do.”

The tense finale and a look to the future

There had to be a reference to the tense episodes at the end: “It's a shame about what happened, the match was already over. Scenes like these aren't good for anyone. I'm sorry for Marusic and Mazzocchi, but now we have to look forward.”
