Sassuolo, Romagna: "We're starting with a bang. Lukaku's absence? Napoli has other strong attackers"

An event that all football fans have been waiting for for three months now. The 2025/2026 Serie A season is just around the corner: Napoli fans will be back to support their team on Saturday at 6:30 PM, for the Azzurri's debut at the Mapei Stadium, against Sassuolo, who returned to the top flight after a year in B. The last match between the two teams dates back to February 28, 2024, in a thrilling 1-6 win for the Azzurri, one of the few great games of the Neapolitans in that disastrous season. Filippo Romagna, Neroverde defender and former Cagliari and Juventus player, spoke to Sky Sport microphones about the game against Conte's team: "We're starting with a bang, right away with one of the strongest teams. We've been preparing for a long time and can't wait to start, many of us dreamed of this moment, we deserved it from last year and we're ready to give our all."

"It will be a tough test right away, it's very different from last year. Everything will be different, we had a great season but now the level will be much higher. We'll have to be good with our ideas, give continuity and try to live everything to the fullest. Lukaku's absence? Every game will be difficult, every team has strong attackers. Lukaku will be missed, but Napoli has other strong attackers: we'll have to raise our attention and raise our level from all points of view. I'm confident."
