Antonio Conte praises Napoli’s ‘extraordinary’ efforts amidst injury crisis as they beat Juventus 2-1, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring a brace.
Napoli’s thrilling 2-1 win over Juventus has left Antonio Conte beaming with pride, as he praised his team’s “extraordinary” efforts amidst an injury crisis. The Partenopei dominated the match, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring a brace to secure the victory, ending his two-month goal drought.
The players deserve all the compliments, Conte told reporters. “We can only thank them, as in a moment of extreme difficulty and with so few available, we are doing incredible things.”
Hojlund’s goals were crucial to Napoli’s win, with the Dane scoring his first goal since October. Juventus had few chances, scoring with their only shot on target through Kenan Yildiz.
Napoli’s victory maintains their unbeaten home record in Serie A for 2025, a feat last achieved in 1987.
Conte revealed that Stanislav Lobotka has a minor issue and is expected to be out for 10-15 days. “We played Atalanta, Roma, and Juventus, all very strong opponents, in an emergency situation and won them all. I remain stunned by the enthusiasm and energy the lads are putting into the game,” Conte said.
Napoli’s win keeps them at the top of the Serie A table, having beaten Roma and Inter despite their injury woes. Conte remains optimistic about his team’s chances, saying, “We’ve got to find the right path and stick to it. I can only say thank you, thank you, thank you again to these lads.”
