"Some young coaches nowadays are arrogant and don't want to adapt. They see a young striker struggling, and instead of training him, they blame him,"
"They always complain and blame everyone but themselves, because everything is handed to them on a silver platter."
"We did everything we could to sign him,"
"There were more storied clubs interested, but his will was crucial, and we are proud of it. There's an option to buy and an obligation to buy if we qualify for the Champions League."
Rasmus Hojlund moved to Napoli on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy if Champions League qualification occurs. The forward joined Manchester United for £64 million from Atalanta in 2023 and scored 26 goals in 95 appearances while often being overlooked early in the season. Initial form at Napoli produced nine goals in his first 20 appearances, with the last goals coming on Dec. 28. Criticism focuses on some young coaches being unwilling to adapt and blaming struggling strikers instead of developing them. Napoli regard the permanent transfer as a formality and stress the player's commitment. Napoli sit third in Serie A, six points behind the leaders.
