David Neres was the decisive figure in the Italian Super Cup final against Bologna with two great goals and seems to have definitively won over the Neapolitan fans and even the press. The ex-Benfica player (83 games and 17 goals) has already scored six goals this season, more than in the entirety of last season (there were three), which led the newspaper La Gazetta dello Sport to the point of exclaiming 'Kvaratskhelia, who?' The publication states that David Neres “gave wings to all of Naples” and “perhaps he will finally be able to free himself from the imposing shadow of the Kvaratskhelia phenomenon”, who left for PSG. The Brazilian began to impose himself after the Georgian's injury in December last year, but was later affected by injuries himself and was left out of the final stretch of last season, in which the team became national champions. This Monday, in the match played in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian showed how relevant he can be. «David was not just the scorer, he was the leader who led the team. And he left his mark in the third Super Cup in Naples' history", says the publication, which states that Neres "has just secured his place in the club's legend". The first goal was an arcing shot from outside the area, the second a discreet hat close to the goalkeeper. Two goals showing the versatility of an «atypical Brazilian, one who smiles little, but who enchants with the ball at his feet». «David is a new man and, in the midst of an emergency, Conte rediscovered his purest talent», he concludes. For Benfica, Neres scored 17 goals and 25 assists in 83 games. He was signed from Shakhtar in July 2022, for 15.3 million euros, and sold to Napoli in August 2024, for 28 million.
