""We showed that we are ready. There was a good attitude from the start, it was a match that we dominated, as [David] de Gea made several saves, so it's not possible that we should struggle at the end," Conte said. "The lads know, just as I tell my kids, where they need to improve, what I liked and didn't like. We conceded a goal and then started to struggle. When you play this well, you need to kill off the game and keep it closed.""
""Hojlund is only 22 years old, we got him from Manchester United, seeing as it brought us luck doing that with [Scott] McTominay," Conte quipped. "We knew his qualities, he has great potential and can improve. You can see he's a lad with great prospects.""
Napoli maintained a perfect start to the Serie A season with a 3-1 victory over Fiorentina, earning three wins from three matches. Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring from the penalty spot. On-loan Rasmus Hojlund marked his debut with a composed finish, and defender Sam Beukema scored his first goal after the interval. Luca Ranieri pulled one back late, and Fiorentina created a late flurry of chances that worried Napoli. Conte praised Hojlund's potential but expressed frustration that Napoli allowed late pressure after dominating. The Hojlund loan includes a €44 million option to buy. Frank Anguissa provided Beukema's assist.
