Rasmus Hojlund was the star of the show for Napoli, scoring both goals in their exciting 2-1 Champions League victory against Sporting CP.
This impressive performance marks a return to form for the Danish striker, who is currently on loan from Manchester United. His key role in the win has caught the attention of some well-respected figures in football.
🌟 A Legendary Coach is Impressed
Former AC Milan coach Fabio Capello expressed his admiration for Hojlund’s performance. He remembered Hojlund’s speed and ability to attack the space behind defenders from his time at Atalanta. Capello mentioned he was happy to see the striker looking confident and playing well in Naples again, calling him a “strong and courageous player.”
💪 Finding Confidence Again
Capello also noted that Hojlund had a difficult period at Manchester United, where he struggled to score consistently. His recent success at Napoli shows that he is regaining the form that made him such a promising young talent and is putting past challenges behind him.
🤝 Praise from a Teammate
Napoli teammate Kevin De Bruyne also had positive things to say about Hojlund. He compared the Danish forward to Erling Haaland, noting that both are left-footed and excel at running into open spaces. De Bruyne added that it was a great night for Hojlund and is confident he will continue to score many more goals for the team.
