Africa-Press – Mauritius. Scott McTominay, the Serie A champion and talisman for Napoli, was awarded the Italian Serie A player of the season on Friday.
With 12 goals and 6 assists in 34 league games, the Scotland midfielder has been an essential member of Napoli.
He began the title celebrations in Naples with a spectacular bicycle kick that sealed a 2-0 victory over Cagliari.
After Khvicha Kvaratskhelia went to Paris St. Germain in January, the 28-year-old former Manchester United player has become an important part of the Napoli squad.
“The sacrifice of every single player in this group is just incredible.
“The people deserve it, as they’ve been behind us from day one. For me to come here and experience this, it’s just a dream,” McTominay told DAZN.
In Naples he now goes by the name “McFratm” among supporters, a playful fusion of his name and “Fratm”, the Neapolitan word for “my brother”.
“My Italian is OK, I can understand, but speaking it takes more confidence and it’s not easy. It is much easier to do it with people who don’t speak any English.
” I can feel a lot of love,” McTominay said, adding that he just had learned the words “festeggiamo, andiamo”, meaning “let’s go celebrate”.
