Marek Hamsik believes the Scudetto race was decided by “details” and urged Maurizio Sarri to stay at Napoli. “He’s fundamental.”
The captain came off the bench to score a stunning goal today, but the 2-2 draw with Torino makes it virtually impossible for them to catch Juventus.
“Unfortunately there are regrets and we didn’t deserve these recent results, because it was such a strong campaign,” the captain told Mediaset Premium and Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“It’s a pity we didn’t win today. Certainly knowing the result of Inter 2-3 Juventus was a psychological blow, but we have to learn to focus only on ourselves and not on what happens elsewhere.
“There were some incidents that changed the course of the campaign and in the end, when it’s so close, it comes down to details. It’s something we must work with and learn from, because we must become stronger.
“Our playing style is constant pressing and the moment we calm that down, we look slow and predictable. We cannot lower the tempo, because it makes us easy to read for the opposition.
“On the field we deserved more, even if Juventus are a stronger club with more strength in depth for their squad too.”
There is a great deal of speculation on the future of Coach Sarri, exacerbated by the comments of President Aurelio De Laurentiis.
“I really hope Sarri stays, because he has helped improve both the team and everyone around Napoli. It’s fundamental that he remains, as he created a spectacular group and the fans know it too, which is why 50,000 come to every game.
“Our objective now is to set a new all-time club record for Serie A points.”
