After Napoli coach Allegri defeated Genoa in the first league match, he accepted an exclusive interview with Slow Motion, during which he said: "This will be a wonderful and tough season. We must perform well in Serie A, the Champions League, and the Coppa Italia. The centenary only happens once, so we have a responsibility to have an excellent season."

"Unfortunately, Buongiorno will be out until January," Allegri continued, "but I still have Marin and Rrahmani. Buonansana is not yet in top form, but he will recover to his best. If needed, I also have Olivera. I am very confident."

When talking about the title race, Allegri emphasized: "Internazionale are the top favorites because they are the defending champions, but there are at least 8 other teams to watch out for. Besides Internazionale and us, there are also AC Milan, Juventus, Roma, Fiorentina, Como, and Atalanta. As for the Champions League, we must first qualify from the league phase, and then play the play-offs or the round of 16 in our best form."

Finally, when talking about Højlund, Allegri said: "He is a striker with excellent physical condition, very dedicated to training, and very motivated, but he still needs to improve his goal-scoring rate. Given his potential, he can do it."
