Lorenzo Insigne

“If Sarri went to Juve for us Neapolitans it would surely be a betrayal.”

“I had an interview and I said Messi is the best player in the world. However, I do not want to compare him with Maradona, who is everything for us. I do not want to compare him.”

“I've proved what I am worth and there are people around who appreciate me.”

“I want the people to love me and to understand me better with my action on the pitch.”

“I don't have the physical abilities to be a goalie.”

“I had considered giving up but my desire and passion were too strong. I wanted to make it as professional footballer and now I'm here.”

“I was surprised by the MLS because there are all very good facilities, new pitches and very nice stadiums.”

“Frattamaggiore, the neighborhood where I grew up, was very difficult.”

“Some Napoli fans haven't understood me, as they consider me arrogant, as if they have a different image of how I am in reality.”

“Messi is extraordinary, even if personally I still think the greatest player who ever lived was Diego Maradona.”

“Technique, strength, speed - you can just work harder and improve. But your height? What can you do? I'd wake up every morning hoping I'd grown overnight. But nothing.”

“You know, I hear some people speak bad about Napoli, and it's very frustrating for me, because they don't know the city. To me, it's the best city in the world.”

“The Scudetto with Napoli is my goal.”

“I grew up with only the myth of El Diego and his greatness, and of course he is a legend all over the world. But in Napoli? In Napoli? He is like a God.”

“I have always supported this club and would like to one day become a symbol of Napoli.”

“To those who criticise me for leaving Serie A at just 31 years old, I have nothing to say because I am happy with the decision I made and I am moving on.”

“I just really love playing and, of course, left wing is my natural role, but whatever the coach chooses, I'm happy.”

“My dream, always, was to play in the Napoli shirt at the San Paolo. For me, there was no other dream. I didn't play any other sports.”

“I never miss a football game on TV.”

“If I had to spend money on a ticket, it would be a Champions League final.”
