“The Scudetto ? I'm happy and proud, it's an immense joy that has finally arrived now . ”
Word of Marek Hamsik , former captain of Napoli , who does not forget his past in blue and celebrates, in his own way, from a distance, the now imminent tricolour.
Hamsik: “Scudetto is an immense joy, Napoli always in my heart”
The Slovakian, now in Turkey , spoke in an interview with Il Mattino : “For many years we came close, now there is a moment that I have imagined for years. Every time I saw the fans they asked me to win the championship.
I'm happy for everyone, from the team to the managers, the doctors, the custodians of Castel Volturno. It's their victory."
" Naples is a part of me, but this Scudetto belongs to those who fought and won it ," Hamsik continued. " I've also experienced unforgettable celebrations, and I know what Neapolitans' desire for rebirth is.
I still remember that victory in the Italian Cup in 2012, it had been 22 years since we had won anything."
Hamsik: “Lavezzi and I like Kvara and Kim. But the MVP is Lobotka”
A championship-winning season that in some ways recalled, as a beginning, that rebirth that began precisely with Lavezzi and Hamsik : “We arrived amidst general skepticism, then we grew, protected by the club.
As Kvara and Kim did this summer . But the MVP of the Azzurri season was Lobotka , he made Napoli make a real leap in quality.
But "there were many pieces of the puzzle that led the Azzurri to victory ," he continues. " It wasn't just one person who won, everyone did. Great players arrived, in the right places and with great motivation.
Then the difference was made by the continuity of performances and results, which created an ever-widening gap from the others".
Hamsik: “The party? I’ll enjoy it from afar”
Now the countdown is on, in Naples all that's waiting for is the celebration : "I expect hundreds of thousands of people on the streets for this extraordinary feat, it's nothing comparable to what I saw in my years as a footballer.
I'll enjoy it from afar."
And De Laurentiis ? “I can imagine his happiness now ,” adds Hamsik. “ He really wanted to win it. I've never had any problems with him.
When I wanted to renew, I renewed. And when it came to prizes, he always accommodated me.
Finally, when I thought it was right to leave, he said yes."
