Marek Hamsik believes Napoli can still challenge Juventus and Roma for the Serie A title, despite a poor start to the season.
The Vesuviani sit five points behind the Giallorossi and eight behind the Bianconeri after a difficult opening six rounds of the season, but with their captain still optimistic.
“I believe we are still in the race for the Scudetto, but we can’t afford to drop too many points on Juventus and Roma,” the Napoli captain has told Top Mercato.
“We’ve started badly, but we’re a big team with a lot of talented players, so I think we’re still in the running [for the Scudetto].
“There are still a lot of games to go until the end of the season, so we have the chance to recover.”
Hamsik, whose Slovakia defeated Spain on Thursday night, believes the international break will be of benefit to the Partenopei’s League campaign.
“We have already lost two games in the League, which is too many after only six games.
“I believe that from now on we will do much better, I’m convinced the break will be good for everyone.
“It will allow us to reach top fitness and raise the level of our game.”
