“Transfer market? Yes, it is true that I was close to Borussia Dortmund and that I negotiated with the club, but the negotiations were not that easy. I was told that Borussia had to sell some players before taking me. The negotiations dragged on until August. But I had started training with Napoli and I did not want to leave”. This was revealed by Napoli captain Marek Hamsik in an interview given today to the German newspaper Sport Bild. The Slovakian had words of praise for Ancelotti: “He is a great coach and had a great career as a player. He knows how a dressing room works and how to have good relationships with his players”, he explained. “Furthermore, he is a lovely man and as a coach he has nothing to prove. He has already won a lot. I am struck by the fact that he never gets caught up in stress and frenzy. On the contrary, he is very cold”.
