Napal striker Lukaku talked about topics such as Napoli's Serie A championship last season and the Champions League next season.

You joined Naples last summer. Did you believe that the team’s goal is to win the championship?

When Coach Conte called me to join Naples, I told myself “Okay, we will win together again.” I didn't say that to him because he might think I was crazy. But even when I was playing for Inter, I said the same thing. We ended up winning because we were all heading in the same direction.

Which game do you think was the most important game in Napoli last season?

After the away win over Atlanta, we realized that we could do it (win the championship). The victory against Juventus, Atlanta, and Fiorentina made us stronger, and the draw against Inter was very fierce and we deserved the victory, but that game also made us understand that we are equally competitive with Inter. Conte told us in the locker room after the game that we should believe that we can win the championship. Every player is very important, McTominay, Anguysa, Loboteca, Politano... They run with double the effort, and Neres is the real phenomenon of the team. Conte has adapted to us, we have adapted to him, he coached a lot of new things and showed it on the court. The celebration of the parade after Naples won the championship is impressive, but you were also questioned in the early days of joining the franchise

The feeling of winning in Naples... Wow, I can't even fall asleep. It was not easy at the beginning, and people have a lot of doubts about me due to their value and age. It seemed to me that the situation was back in the early years of my career.

Naples will return to the Champions League next season

The strongest team at present is Paris Saint-Germain, but in the football world, if you build the team well and have good tactical ideas, you can compete with any opponent. For example, everyone previously thought that Barcelona would defeat Inter Milan, but the result was the opposite. In recent years, Inter Milan has reached the Champions League final twice, Fiorentina has reached the UEFA League final twice, Roma has won a UEFA League trophy, and even Atlanta has won the UEFA League championship. People should respect Italian football more.
