McTominay: Serie A More Tactical Than ‘Chaotic’ Premier League

Scott McTominay, the Scottish midfielder who made a surprising move from Manchester United to Napoli, has opened up about his experiences in Italy and his aspirations for success with the Serie A club.

In a recent interview, McTominay highlighted the differences between the Premier League and Serie A, describing the Italian league as more tactical compared to the “chaotic” nature of English football. He noted that the Premier League often resembles a fast-paced basketball game, while Serie A focuses more on strategic play.

The midfielder expressed his love for Naples, praising the city’s rich history, culture, and welcoming atmosphere. He mentioned how living in Italy has allowed him to appreciate simple pleasures, such as enjoying flavorful tomatoes, which he humorously compared to “red water” back in England.

McTominay’s transition to Napoli has been smooth, with the player already surpassing his personal best goal tally from his time at Manchester United. He attributes his success to the professional environment at Napoli and his dedication to maintaining high standards in nutrition, training, and overall conduct.

The Scottish international also spoke about the passionate Napoli fanbase, describing their support as “incredible” and unlike anything he had experienced before. He emphasized how the fans’ enthusiasm motivates him to perform at his best in every match.

Looking ahead, McTominay revealed his burning ambition to help Napoli clinch the Serie A title. He stated, “I think about winning the Scudetto all the time. I want to be the player who pushes us in the right direction, giving everything on the pitch and finishing the season with no regrets.”

As Napoli continues to challenge for top spots in Serie A, McTominay’s determination and adaptation to Italian football could prove crucial in the club’s pursuit of another league title.
