Lucca: Delighted with first goal and win, Napoli feels like family | OneFootball

On the day after the second summer friendly against Catanzaro, Lorenzo Lucca spoke to the microphones of Radio Crc to enthusiastically comment on the start of his new adventure in the blue shirt.

Napoli, Lucca: “Happy for my first goal, but even more for the win. Napoli is family, I’m here to grow”

The striker, born in 2000, scored his first goal for Napoli, but he is keen to emphasize that the most important thing was the team’s victory.

“I’m happy for my first goal, but even more for the win: it’s crucial to start off on the right foot. We’re working hard, the workload is intense, but we know this is the time to lay the foundations for the season,” said Lucca.

The former Udinese center forward then described the atmosphere inside the Napoli locker room, speaking sincerely about the environment he found:

“Napoli is a family. The locker room is united, the staff is always present, and the group is healthy: here everyone is rowing in the same direction. I feel lucky, I was welcomed very well, and Napoli has always been my first choice. I thank the coach, the president, and the director for wanting me here.”

Learning from the best Lucca did not hide his admiration for Romelu Lukaku, a striker with whom he hopes to share the attack next season, or at least from whom he hopes to learn as much as possible:

“Lukaku is one of the strongest center forwards in Serie A. I ask him for advice every day: watching the way he plays is a precious opportunity to grow. Playing with him or coming on in his place would be a great honor. The important thing is always being available to the coach.”

A special bond with Buongiorno There is also a familiar face for Lucca in the blue squad: Alessandro Buongiorno, his former teammate in the Torino youth academy. The bond between the two is strong, but Lucca is keen to point out that the harmony involves the whole squad:

“I have a special relationship with Buongiorno, we’ve known each other since we were kids in Turin. But the great thing about this group is that we’re all united, we care about each other and we fight for a single goal.”

Training challenges and team spirit He ends with a smile, when asked which Napoli defenders give him the most trouble in training:

“None!” – jokes Lucca – “Actually, they’re all really strong. They test me every day and that pushes me to give my best, both in training and in matches.”
