Napoli’s Marek Hamsik: We Are Aiming High In Serie A

Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik has hinted that they have one eye on the Scudetto but has added they are not thinking too far ahead.

The Partenopei returned to winning ways on Sunday evening as they defeated Parma 3-1 away from home and are now just six points behind league leaders Milan.

Napoli have been one of the most impressive sides to watch in Italy this season and with Milan and Inter dropping points, there are whispers that 2010-11 could be the season that the Neapolitans win the Italian championship for the first time in 1990.

Hamsik has admitted that Napoli have championship dreams in their mind but is keeping his feet on the ground.

“We want to stay up high in the table and fight it out with Milan, Inter and Lazio,” said the Slovakian, according to Solonapoli.com. “It will be a great fight until the end.”

Reflecting on his goal against Parma, the 23-year-old stated: “I know that Ezequiel Lavezzi wouldn’t strike the ball hard. In fact he gave the ball to me right on my foot and I kicked it over the goalkeeper.

“Seeing the replay again, I was offside, but these things have often gone against us in the past.”
