Noah Okafor sends a message to Antonio Conte

Noah Okafor, Napoli’s new striker, gave an interview to Radio CRC: "Napoli è a great club. I am working hard to return to my best level of form. Soon I will be able to express myself at my best again and thus make a difference and help the team. You push yourself and work hard in training. For me è something new right now, so it è difficult, but I am convinced that this is what I need: to train hard every day and overcome my limits. I will soon return to my best level".

"Napoli è a team that runs a lot, defends and attacks all together: this I think is its strength,” explained the former Milan player. “The team has a lot of quality and the coach è very good. I always think that in soccer you play games based on how you train. When you work well in training and push hard, then you also express it on the field. The team has welcomed me very well. The players are all motivated to work hard, there’è a good atmosphere. I think if we continue like this; we can achieve our goals".

On role: "I can play as a winger, either on the right or left, and as a central forward. I have played both next to one striker and with two strikers. Based on my characteristics, the position I prefer è left wing, because é there; I can use all my qualities and make a difference. I can express myself best in’one-on-one, attacking depth, cutting and trying to go to the net".

"After the last two draws against Roma and Udinese, we have to start again with the right mentalityà. In soccer, everything cannotò always go well, but from negative things we must learn and we canò improve. My personal goal è to train hard every day, get in shape as soon as possible and return to my best level to be ready if the coach needs me".

"Absence of Neres? Definitely è a bad thing when you have an injury, but we have the qualities è to make up for these deficiencies. We have to prepare well, as the coach wants and be ready to win" concluded Okafor.
