NAPOLI (ITALPRESS) – “It was beautiful to win the Super Cup, our first season trophy. After the shield winning this cup was very important: it was a beautiful week in Riyad”. To return to the triumph of Naples in Supercoppa Italiana is the blue midfielder Elijf Elmas, still in the seventh heaven for the company in Arab land. “We made two beautiful matches and brought this Christmas gift to Naples – says the 26-year-old Macedonian to Radio Crc – It was important to win this trophy for us, so we approached well the two matches against Milan and Bologna. They are two strong teams with so much quality, so we knew we had to do our best.”.
The former Taurus also focuses on its technical characteristics: “Being a wildcard is not easy, there are so many difficulties – he assures – I like to play behind the tip and in this period I am playing a little more in my position, after 5 weeks in which I played as a median. It’s not easy to move from one role to another, but I’m trying to do my best. In my opinion this position is perfect for me, because you can do goals, dribbling, assist”.
“I’m trying to understand what Mister Conte asks me to make a leap of quality. When I played median Count asked me more things and not always everyone understands it (laughs, ndr). Against Milan and Bologna, on the other hand, the demands of the mister change: I am trying to follow what he tells me.” Naples has been doing away from the experience and the breath of the Lukaku goal: “It’s a great player with so much experience, it always helps young people and is a man team. He has won many trophies, he has played many games and with his experience he can help us all. It will give me a great hand under a mental point of view and motivation: I would love to play with him.” It will not happen in the challenge against Cremonese, to be taken obviously with the springs: “All Serie A games are very difficult. Cremonese has taken important points to big teams in these games, as at Milan. We must be focused, it is the last game this year and we must be careful and follow what the mister tells us. We have to take home the 3 points because they are very important.”.
Elmas also returns to the second title in three years conquered by Naples: “The emotions of the shield with Spalletti cannot be told, but only live. Winning the badge in Naples after 33 years was special, because in its history the blue club did not win many tricolors. Even for those who saw the shields of Maradona, returning to victory after 33 years was an unexplained emotion. Spalletti’s Naples was marked on the ball. Both that Naples and this have so much quality in the rose: This team of Antonio Conte, however, is much more physical. They are two different teams, but both built well.”.
Elmas chiosa talking about his future, who still dreams with a view on Vesuvius: “I arrived here in 2019, I was a child and now I am becoming a man. I’m getting a lot of things in life and football, I’m fine here. I don’t know what the future holds for me, let’s see if I can make 300 appearances with the Napoli jersey, but also 200 are a great milestone.”.
