McTominay: Conte’s Call Lit a Fire in My Heart; Dreaming of Serie A Glory with Napoli

Recently, new summer signing McTominay for Napoli participated in an interview segment on the club’s YouTube channel, where he discussed his feelings about joining the team and his goals for the new season.

About his feelings

When I found out that Napoli was interested in me, it lit a fire in my heart. I wanted to get here as soon as possible and give my all to help the team. The fans are incredible; I would say they are the best fans I’ve ever seen. It’s unbelievable, and no amount of praise is too much for the fans and people here. I have been warmly welcomed by my teammates and the coach, who wants me to integrate into the team, which gives you confidence. My conversation with Conte was very positive; he has high expectations for me, which is good at my age. At 27, I am neither young nor old.

About Italian football

Italian football is very different, with many tactical aspects I need to learn. For me, football is football; if you train properly, take care of yourself, and are willing to learn, you can quickly adapt to what the coach requires of you. It requires focus, trying to learn as much as possible in the shortest time while maintaining a smile on your face.

About dreams

My biggest dream is to be a happy person; I believe happiness is the most beautiful thing in life. Keeping a smile on your face is important because only then can you play football well. My current dream is to help Napoli win the Serie A title, secure numerous trophies, and do everything possible to assist my teammates, driving my career forward.

About idols

Rooney, Zidane, players like them; I often watch their matches, paying attention to the details of how they perform during games, even imitating them when I was younger. I love this sport; I am passionate about playing, and I crave victory and success.
