Napoli striker Rasmus Hojlund has expressed feeling more freedom in his attacking role under new manager Massimiliano Allegri, although the team struggled to create chances in a recent 2-1 loss to Como. Hojlund netted the only goal in Napoli's home defeat against Como on Sunday, securing three points in their opening two Serie A matches.
The Partenopei currently sit atop the standings with three points from their first two games. Hojlund, 23, told DAZN that he hopes to score more goals this season, as last year he was more restricted defensively. The manager noted that Napoli needs to bolster both their defensive and attacking play. Napoli's next Serie A match is away at Inter, followed by their Champions League debut at home against Arsenal on September 9.
