"I’m delighted to be among the top three," Lobotka stated. "Hancko had an extraordinary season, both for the national team and his club, and he truly deserved this award.

Lobotka Praises Conte's Transformative Influence at Napoli
During the gala evening, the former Celta Vigo star also offered high praise for his Napoli coach, Antonio Conte, highlighting their strong understanding. "He is an extraordinary coach with a clear philosophy and a winning mentality," Lobotka affirmed. "With him, I pushed my physical and mental limits further than I ever thought possible.
