Raspadori: Atletico fans like Napoli, incredible passion here | OneFootball

Giacomo Jack Raspadori, now at Atletico Madrid after his experience at Napoli, spoke to Mundo Deportivo about his journey in Spain, focusing on his feelings during the first months and the similarities he perceives between the two clubs.

Atletico Madrid, Raspadori: “Atletico fans are similar to those of Napoli. Here, the mentality and passion are incredible”

The former Napoli striker explained that he integrated quickly into his new club, being struck by the work culture and the environment around him: “I am experiencing a very positive moment. I am happy to have the opportunity to be part of this incredible club. I haven’t been here long, but I appreciate everything about Atletico: the way of working, the mentality, and above all the fans, who are truly extraordinary.”

An adaptation that surprises for its speed, a sign of a technical and human environment that Raspadori immediately found ideal.

“Atletico fans and Napoli fans? There are many similarities”

The comparison between Napoli and Madrid comes naturally, and Raspadori has no doubts: “Napoli fans are very similar to those of Atletico. Both live and breathe football. My years in Napoli were fundamental and I see many affinities between the two realities: the passion of the crowd, the club’s identity, the way they support the team.”

An emotional bond that the striker carries with him and finds again in the atmosphere of the Wanda Metropolitano, equally intense and all-encompassing.

“Little playing time? I work every day to be ready”

Regarding his appearances not yet being consistent, Raspadori maintains a professional and aware attitude: “Every footballer wants to play as much as possible. I train for this, but I am very happy. I am working hard and waiting for my opportunity to give even more.”

A statement that reflects the mentality required by the club and by Diego Simeone himself: competitiveness, discipline, and total commitment.
