Atalanta forward Rasmus Hojlund gave an interview to the Lega Serie A YouTube channel ahead of the match against Napoli. Among other things, he shared his thoughts on the toughest opposing defenders he has faced this year.
"Undoubtedly, the player who caused me the most trouble this year was Chris Smalling. He beat me in tactical intelligence, cunning, and speed. I couldn't impose myself physically, and even though I tried other methods, I didn't succeed. The game against AC Milan was also difficult, as I faced some really strong defenders. I'm good at finding spaces, but they were too fast, and knowing this, I had to keep an eye on them all the time, being very careful", as relayed by our colleagues at MilanPress.
