Jorge “Jorginho” Frello’s Q&A:

Why did you pick number 8? Is it significant in some way for you?

There isn’t a particular significance. I chose it because I like this number since I was a child. My mom used to pick it [note: she was a footballer too] and so do I.

What do you feel playing Champions League match at San Paolo?

It's a strong emotion because playing important matches is the dream of every child. Every Champions League match is important and it's a great feeling.

You showed many times your love for Napoli, but what do you like the most about this city?

The way of living. The warmth and the hospitality that people give to you is wonderful. It makes me feel a bit like home as in Brazil. I’m feeling good here.

Besides playing the guitar for your friends, do you have any hobbies?

I enjoy going to the cinema, I often go there because I like movies. I like to get out, spend time with my wife and play football with my friends.

What did you feel on your debut with Napoli?

I was happy, I had just arrived in a big team and it was a pride and a pleasure playing for these colors because it was a prize for what I had built in my career.

What was your most beautiful match this year?

I think it’s the Serie A home match against Juventus. The stadium was full and we couldn’t say anything on the pitch because there were lots of whistles; it was a deeply felt match. It was beautiful.

How old were you when you started playing football?

I don’t remember it! I was 4 years old when I joined my first football school. But I can’t remember when I started kicking the ball. My dad says I started when I was 1, but y’all know how parents are, they exaggerate a little bit.

What’s your relationship with your teammates and who’s the one you’re closer?

It's great, we are a fantastic group, they’re all good guys. There is a great harmony among us. I can’t say a name in particular, we also see each other outside the pitch.

What's the thing that struck you most about Napoli?

The madness! The traffic, the way Napoletani live. It's a city full of culture and full of healthy madness that makes it special. If you love this culture like me, you fit perfectly here.

Did you learned a sentence or a word in Napoletano [

language

]?

After 3 1/2 years, I know more then one: “Ch’ hamma fà guagliò?”; “Maronna mia!” and “Stai senza pensieri”.

#AskPiotr, Wednesday, 3rd May 2017.

Piotr Zielinski’s Q&A:

Why did you pick number 20?

Because it was the only one available among the numbers I like.

What did you feel during Napoli-Real Madrid?

Surely it was very emotional. It’s beautiful seeing the stadium full. The San Paolo was already full several hours prior to the game, this is a great thing for us.

What do you like the most about Napoli?

I like a lot of things about Napoli. Napoli is an astonishing seaside city, its landscape is breathtaking, the islands are beautiful and there's a lot to see around here.

What’s your relationship with your teammates?

I have a great relationship with all my teammates, but especially with my fellow countryman Arek. We know each other from playing for the national side.

How did you feel when you first heard your name shouted by the whole stadium?

Hearing the whole San Paolo screaming out your name is fantastic. It’s also emotional for my girlfriend and my family who were at the stadium as well.

What were you thinking about Napoli before you came here? And now?

I didn't know much about Napoli before coming here. They told me that Napoli is a beautiful city and now I think that all the people who said this to me are right. I feel great living in this city and I'd love to play for long with this team.

What's your most important match with Napoli’s jersey?

Surely the one against Inter at the San Paolo. I scored a goal and made an assist. It was my first goal for Napoli and we won 3-0, what matters most.

How old were you when you started playing football?

I was five years old. My father used to take me to the pitch and I started playing with him and my brother very early.
