Napoli, Simone Inzaghi has explained
why he believes Marek Hamsik to be
the best in the division.
Napoli star Marek Hamsik is probably the most
complete player in Serie A, according to Lazio boss
Simone Inzaghi.
The club captain has scored 14 times and registered 12 assists in all competitions this
season and is just three short of Diego Maradona's
all-time goal record of 115.
Inzaghi, speaking ahead of Lazio's clash with
Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, believes
Hamsik is the strongest all-round performer in
Italy's top flight.
"Personally, I really like Hamsik," he told Corriere dello Sport. "He's a complete player. In that sense,
he's perhaps the best there is in Italy." Sunday's meeting gives Lazio the chance to close to within a point of third-place Napoli in the Serie A standings with a win. Inzaghi's side have already enjoyed a successful campaign, having knocked out Inter and city rivals
Roma to reach the Coppa Italia final, but the former
striker is not giving up on a Champions League
spot.
"Having 60 points in the league is amazing," he
said. "But we're not satisfied. We have to try to get
as many as we can.
"On paper it shouldn't be an issue for Napoli to get
into the Champions League, but we've proved we
can fight it out with anyone. In Serie A, just one
slip-up can change everything.
"It's an amazing achievement [in the Coppa]:
we've knocked out Inter and Roma and shown that,
with determination and humility, you can achieve
great things."
