Diego Demme is excited playing for Napoli coach Rino Gattuso.
The January signing also revealed he was named after Napoli great Diego Maradona.
“It was nice to score and help the team," Demme told Sky Sport Italia. “I don't want to be compared to Maradona; he was the best in the world.
“My father was a huge fan and my name is Diego."
The 28-year-old himself admired his new coach, the former Milan player Gattuso, when he grew up.
“Myself, I was a fan of [Gennaro] Gattuso and [Andrea] Pirlo instead. They were a very great pair.
“One fought, the other had great technique. They were my idols."
