00:00I would say I was a bit surprised in the beginning because obviously I knew that the number was retired.

00:07But in another way, it's an honour, you know, it's an honour from the team and from the club to give me this responsibility.

00:16I would say I don't think it adds any more pressure. I think the pressure comes from itself.

00:22You know, if you play for big teams like Napoli, the pressure will be there.

00:27You know, there's a team that wants to win, so you know what you have to do as a player, as a squad.

00:33But I don't believe that a number or anything else will add the pressure.

00:39Maradona is Maradona. He's one of the legends of the game and he's synonymous with Napoli anyway.

00:48We know that. But I'm grateful. I'm proud.

00:52But, you know, I'm my own player. I'm going to try and do the job the best I can do.

00:58And hopefully I can bring pleasure to the team and to the city and to the fans and get some good performances in there.
