Reginaldo: Hojlund shone at Atalanta, De Bruyne still needs time | OneFootball

During the broadcast "Salite sulla giostra" by Raffaele Auriemma on Stile TV, Reginaldo, a former footballer coached by Conte and Baroni, made an appearance.

Napoli, Reginaldo on our microphones: “Hojlund was already strong at Atalanta, De Bruyne? He still needs time”

These are his statements to our microphones: “I prefer Conte over everyone. I had Baroni for a week, so for a very short time. However, in recent years, the facts show that he has worked very well, but comparing him to Conte is an exaggeration. Conte has won wherever he has gone and can do it again this year. Of course, there's the Champions League, but this year there are substitutes that weren't there last year. For example, against Genoa, Napoli should and could have lost, but something changed because they didn't lose. They didn't lose, but rather won because players came in who made the difference. These players can still grow.”

“Hojlund, when he was at Atalanta, was the strongest forward in Serie A after Lukaku. He was the one who attacked the depth with aggression, was one of the fastest, and was very effective, which is why Conte took a fundamental player. Then, of course, he came from a year where he hadn't played much, but the guy is strong, he goes at full speed. De Bruyne needs time because at Manchester City he did whatever he wanted and played with equally strong players. In Napoli, he arrived as a star and much was expected of him, but he needs time because he has already lost 7/8 kilos since he arrived and then he needs to understand what Conte wants from him. He has already shown good things, some key passes are the result of talent, and it seems to me he is doing well in both phases.”

“I am still playing in the second division, but I would like to become a coach. I know it's not easy, but I would like to start with the little ones. Speaking of coaches, I believe Gattuso is the right coach for the National team. He is a man of the field, of football, and has shown to have a very strong character. He has great desire, he manages to transfer it to the players, and a football man like him was needed. Gattuso has given the players the right serenity and the right mentality. Playing in the second division is not easy, especially when your name is Reginaldo! Because they always look for me, the defenders want to show they are doing well, but I have fun and I still manage.”
