Napoli are aiming for trophies again after a poor last season, said Giacomo Raspadori following their 5-0 win against Palermo, setting up a Coppa Italia last-16 tie against Lazio. Coach Antonio Conte praised the team's renewed energy as they work to rebuild a winning mentality.

Napoli are poised to contend for trophies once more following a disappointing previous season, forward Giacomo Raspadori stated. The sentiment came after a commanding 5-0 win over Serie B side Palermo on Thursday, which set up a Coppa Italia last-16 clash against Lazio.

Last season's 10th place finish and early exits from the Coppa Italia and Champions League are now in the past, as Raspadori emphasized, 'There's no point in making comparisons with last year, we're rebuilding a winning mentality.'

Napoli's victory was marked by Belgian winger Cyril Ngonge scoring twice within the first 12 minutes, with Juan Jesus, David Neres, and Scott McTominay also contributing goals. Coach Antonio Conte praised the team's professionalism and the integration of new players, stating, 'We are rebuilding on an old base with players who have brought new energy.'
