Napoli, Insigne: "Future? Now I'm focused on the European Championship"

Lorenzo Insigne spoke about the great fairy tale he is living: “Young people are living a great fairy tale, it is also good for us.

They are giving us their enthusiasm, I am older: it is the first time that I experience a competition like this as a protagonist, I am proud of it, I am living a fairy tale and I am giving more than 100% to repay the trust of the team and the coach by putting my qualities on the field to get to a single”.

He then continued by dwelling on his journey in blue: “In the past years I was younger, there were other modules and I adapted. I have always thanked the coaches as Prandelli and Conte that took me to the World Cup and the European Championship. With 3-5-2 I made myself available, with Mancini I have more chances: he makes a module suited to my characteristics but not only to mine, but to all those who play".

Lorenzo Insigne knows the importance of the number 10 well: “I have a big responsibility to wear this shirt but I don’t want to put pressure on myself. I always try to go out on the pitch as carefree as possible: the coach gives me and the others a lot of advice, and he was a great player and can teach us a lot. We can put his teachings into practice”.

Then he commented on the footballers' skit to the tune of “Magical Nights”: "I like to joke with the group, we always play music. I play Neapolitan music, but it was something we wanted to do for the fans who weren't at the stadium. We wanted to do it all together outside the hotel to show how much we care."

He then focused on his future: “I'm only thinking about playing the European Championship, after that there's time to talk to the club”. On the Immobile issue and the centre forward's attempts to bring him to the Lazio: “It came out that Immobile was the director here to bring me but it's not true. He didn't tell me anything. We're friends, we're going on holiday together and we haven't spoken about this”.
