‘Conte encouraged me from the touchline’ – Napoli forward Hojlund

Conte was seen gesturing from the touchline, a moment Højlund later explained.

“He saw I was a bit tired and told me to use my head – he needed that from me, a bit of clarity to refresh myself and keep playing,” he revealed.

Speaking to Sky Sport, Hojlund praised Napoli’s resilience through a demanding week.

“Winning twice in a week at the Maradona is huge,” he said. “Maybe today wasn’t our best performance, but taking all three points was the most important thing.”
