On Stile TV during the broadcast "Salite sulla giostra" by Raffaele Auriemma, Angelo Renzetti, former president of Lugano when Manna was the sports director, intervened. "Lugano is in a moment of crisis because it has exited the European cups, but I only follow it as a spectator, I've been out for 3 years now. I last heard from Manna when he was in Castel Di Sangro, we were supposed to meet but it didn't work out, it's a period where he is very busy. I believe that Napoli has succeeded in the feat of having 2 starters in every role, I knew that Manna would do well, he thinks quickly, I have great respect for his way of operating. Now, Napoli is the favorite and this can be the only unknown because carrying this weight is not easy. They will also need to be lucky with injuries. I don't think Embolo is up to Napoli. He started off strong, has great physical power, but scores little. Napoli should have taken Ndoye who would have thrived in Naples. He is young, explosive, and has also started scoring, he will become a great player. It's difficult to have a player with Lukaku's characteristics, but Hojlund is a profile that I like."
