After joining the reigning Scudetto champions on loan, Hojlund scored for Napoli on his debut<\/a>, but since then hasn\u2019t had the best time, struggling with a lack of creativity.<\/p>\n However, the Dane scored a brace on Wednesday night at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, earning plenty of praise from the Italian press in the process.<\/p>\n Hojlund is enjoying playing under Antonio Conte<\/a>, with the Danish international now boasting three goals in five games for the Italian manager.<\/p>\n This is after his best performance yet came on Wednesday against Sporting CP, where he looked like the second coming of Viktor Gyokeres against the Portuguese outfit.<\/p>\n Scoring two brilliant strikers\u2019 goals, Hojlund made light work of the opposition, and he impressed the media in Italy.<\/p>\n Corriere Della Sera<\/a> rated Hojlund an 8\/10, writing: \u201cThe Maradona lights up with a double, the first sharp foot, the photocopy of Florence\u2019s goal, the second head, when the victory seems to be about to vanish. An unforgettable night for him and his new fans.\u201d<\/p>\n More simply, Gazzetta Dello Sport<\/a> labelled Hojlund a \u201csniper\u201d for his efforts in front of goal, handing the Dane an 8\/10 match rating.<\/p>\n Hojlund also got an 8\/10 from journalist Toni Lavarone<\/a> on his blog, as he wrote: \u201cBeyond the double of a real striker, he puts an incalculable amount of balls in the safe, with which he allows his team to go up. In Manchester, they will be eating their hands [words]. Again.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Rasmus](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2238630947-1024x683.jpg\")
