Napoli captain Marek Hamsik insists “we’re not thinking about” Juventus, and reiterates that Carlo Ancelotti convinced him to stay.
The Partenopei picked up 91 points last season, but they still weren’t able to overhaul the Old Lady and win the title.
Carlo Ancelotti has replaced Maurizio Sarri as Coach for the coming season, and another exciting Scudetto race is expected.
“We’re not thinking about them,” Hamsik shrugged when asked about Juve in an interview with Premium Sport.

“We’re not thinking about them,” Hamsik shrugged when asked about Juve in an interview with Premium Sport.
“The first game [Lazio] will already be difficult, the most important game is always the closest one.”
Hamsik openly admitted to being tempted by a move to China this summer, but ultimately decided to stay at the San Paolo.
“The right offer didn’t arrive so I stayed. It doesn’t change anything, I’ve always given my best for this shirt and I’ll continue to do so.
“I have a new [deeper] role, we’ll see what happens.
“Ancelotti? He’s the most successful Coach in Europe, that can only motivate us more.
“He was one of the factors that pushed me to stay because he kept calling me, he told me to stay.”
