Since the beginning of the Italian Serie A, Hirving Lozano has scored four goals in five games and he is the fourth top scorer of the league.

The relationship between Gennaro Gattuso and Hirving Lozano has never been good. Since his arrival at Napoli on December 11, 2019, the Italian coach never considered the Mexican forward as a full-time starter. However, Chucky showed his talent and managed to get a place on the starting team. 

Since the beginning of the Italian Serie A, Hirving Lozano has scored four goals in five games and he is the fourth top scorer of the league. That's why "Chucky" seemed to have earned Gennaro Gattuso's trust. In addition, there is another reason why Gattuso wants to apologize to Lozano.

After the 2-0 loss to Sassuolo at the San Paolo Stadium, the former Milan midfielder admitted that Poland's Piotr Zielinski and Macedonia's Elif Elmas have not contributed enough to the team in recent months. In that way, he admitted that Lozano was not primarily responsible for the losses of Napoli.

In 2019, Hirving Lozano left PSV Eindhoven from the Netherlands' Eredivisie and signed for Napoli for 46.5 million dollars, making him the highest transfer fee ever paid for a Mexican player in history. Since then, he has scored nine goals in 37 games. Currently, the Mexican is a starter in the team.
