Amir Rrahmani returned with a convincing victory against Napoli. The Kosovo captain has been out of action for the Italian team since February 15 due to a hamstring injury. He has also missed Kosovo's World Cup qualifying playoff matches.
The 32-year-old played the full 90 minutes for Napoli in their 4-0 win over Cremonese on Friday night. The match was part of the 34th round of Serie A.
After the match, Rrahmani spoke at a press conference. He was asked if it was a coincidence that he returned with a convincing victory and without conceding a goal.
"It depends on the team, the approach and the commitment. It was the right approach and this is the result we got from this match," said Rrahmani.
Napoli have lost the title race, but are aiming to finish in second place in Serie A.

Rrahmani returns after a long time, Napoli wins convincingly
"I've been out for more than two months and it's hard to find the rhythm. We were lucky because we scored a lot of goals and it was easier for me. It wasn't just my absence, there were a lot of absences. Maybe we were unlucky too," the center-back emphasized.
He said that everyone in the team knows when they are playing well or not. He emphasized that the team did not play well in the loss to Lazio in the previous round, but this time it was good.
"We have to try to keep second place, which was a great achievement in recent years. We have won the Scudetto and the Super Cup, which is positive."
Napoli have been plagued by injuries throughout the season. But would they have had better results if the team had been spared injuries?
"It's a personal assessment. I think we could have done a lot of good things, but we were unlucky. We have to fight until the end and try to stay high on the table," Amir Rrahmani emphasized.
