The Azzurrini highlighted the impact his former coach has had on his development as a player; and went on to state his ambitions with Napoli for the upcoming season.
The youngster has come back to Napoli as a transformed player, fulfilling much of his promise and putting in consistently high quality performances over the past two seasons. Owing to his tender age, Napoli offloaded the attacking player on loans to Foggia
and Pescara.
His impressive display at Foggia was what led Zdenek Zeman to swoop in for the promising youngster. Insigne returned the faith that Zeman had instilled in him with quality performances throughout the season. He formed a deadly partnership with Ciro Immobile
and Marco Verratti.
Verratti operated as the regista, a deep lying midfielder; and had a great partnership with Insigne; and their link up play was a great reason for their promotion into the Serie A.
Insigne has lauded his former Delfini boss, reiterating the impact the Czech tactician’s influence on him. He went on to compare the differences between his current manager at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, Walter Mazzarri, and his former Delfini boss. He went on to state that
Zeman made you work hard for a spot in the team, but was always supportive of him and believed in his abilities. He further remarked:
“Zeman was fundamental for my growth as he gave me the opportunity to play with regularity. He’s very different to Napoli’s Walter Mazzarri. Zeman makes you sweat on the steps, but he was always a fan of my ability and told me to just stay calm.”
The Partenopei supporting striker went on to discuss his move back to the Neapolitan outfit and remarked on the weight of expectations on his shoulders. The expectancy has risen after Insigne was called after the sale of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073. The Argentinean
was a big part of the success the club enjoyed during the past couple of years.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 U-21 international player went on to comment:
“I’ve matured as a player and now I just need to maintain my calm and be noted for my value. I had only seen certain champions on TV before, now, instead, I am training with them. I want to win something with this shirt.”
Napoli have decided to give their youth prodigy a chance at the top level and it is up to Insigne to grab this chance and be a regular in the team.
