Napoli winger David Neres delivered, arguably, the chilliest post-match interview of the season, following his match-winning performance against AS Roma on Sunday, November 30, 2025.
After scoring the decisive goal in Napoli’s 1-0 victory at Stadio Olimpico, Neres was asked by a reporter from DAZN Italia:
“A brace against Atalanta, a huge performance in the Champions League, and now Man of the Match. You are back?”
In classic understated style, Neres simply replied: “I never left, I’ve always been here,” he said. His reply left teammates, including Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, chuckling at the dry humor.

The win comes at a crucial time for Napoli, who have been navigating an injury crisis that forced Antonio Conte to switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation.
The tactical shift, however, has breathed new life into players like Neres and Noa Lang, who had spent much of the season on the bench.
In just his last two Serie A games, Neres has already scored three goals, including the winner against Roma on Sunday.
Neres remained grounded in his interview, emphasising the team’s focus on consistency.
“Of course, we are the champions and we want to be the next champions, but if you don’t perform every week, you’ll not get there. We have to keep pushing,” he added.
