Conte: I was optimistic about McTominay in the Premier League, and I couldn t believe I could sign him at first

Hupu September 18th Napoli will face Manchester City away in the first phase of the Champions League. Before the game, Napoli coach Conte attended the press conference and talked about two former Premier League players, McTominay and Hoylen.

Why did McTominay perform well in Naples but not at Manchester United?

"I knew him a long time ago, and he played twice in England, and he was still at Manchester United. I always knew he had great potential and often wondered: Since he had such a strong ability, why didn't he be the protagonist in England? Later I had the opportunity to bring him to Naples. To be honest, at first I couldn't believe that this could really happen, but it did.

"Sometimes, a player just needs a new experience, and he's very happy with us now. Someone like him who grew up at Manchester United, perhaps after so many years, really needs to try another experience, and now it has been achieved with us, and we are very happy to have him, he is an excellent player and an amazing person. "Where is Hoylen? Is he eager to prove himself too? "I am very familiar with Rasmus because he played in Atlanta and later went to Manchester United. He has great potential, he is only 22 years old this year and has a whole career ahead. When I talked to him, I felt that he was so happy to start this new experience. He told me: ‘Yes, I’m ready, I want to play football for you and for Naples. ’He has great potential, and now my mission is to help him grow and make him an excellent striker. ”
