Rasmus Hojlund stepped up to the spot in injury time and showed no signs of faltering, giving Napoli a crucial victory against Genoa. After the match, the Italian striker described those tense moments as follows: "Winning in the last minute is truly incredible. The penalty was a huge responsibility, but I like taking it."
These words capture the personality of a center forward who doesn't shy away from crucial moments. "I'm very happy she came in, even though I have a bit of training to do. I was also a bit lucky," he admits honestly, without seeking excuses or forced heroics.
The Marassi victory, however, isn't just an individual achievement. Hojlund immediately broadens his focus to the team effort, emphasizing the team spirit. "We fought until the last second," he says, before dedicating a thought to the teammate who won the decisive penalty: "I congratulate Vergara, who was decisive again."
