The victory over Cagliari confirmed Napoli as champions for season 2025/26.
“Triumphing with that shirt on is something indelible. I still remember the celebration with the fans, scenes you proudly fill,” Zola told Corriere Dello Sport.
“With (Antonio) Conte I expected a competitive Napoli, but not so much that they would fight and win until the end. I know the value of Antonio, but he still surprised me. He puts work on the field above everything else.
“Then he takes obsessive care for the physical and tactical aspects. I could get along with him, I am sure he would have improved me.”
ADL did not panic after Kvara Sale
Asked if the Scudetto was won by Napoli or lost by Inter Milan, Zola continued: “I don't think we can talk about a negative season for Inter: they stayed on all fronts in the race and the Champions League -final games. But Conte and his boys have really grown a lot.”
Tegen de Napoli -president Aurelio de Laurentiis voegde hij eraan toe: “Hij is een president die mensen altijd laat praten, maar vaak de juiste keuzes maakt. Na de verkoop van (Khvicha) Kvaratskhelia, bijvoorbeeld, nam hij geen vervanging alleen voor de sake vanwille van hetwille van hetwille van hetwille van hetwille van hetwille van hetwille van hetwille van hetwille van It, but he trusted those he already had (Giacomo) Raspadori, who had repeated him with important goals.
“Giacomo deserves it: he has always been a team player, a boy with a positive attitude. He suffered and came up again.”
