As we have almost reached the halfway mark of the Serie A season, Napoli have proved to be once again Juventus main challenger for the Scudetto. The partenopei, led for the 11th season in a row by their captain Marek Hamsik, have also a very good chance to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League, according to the Slovakian midfielder's agent Martin Petras: "After the draw almost no one thought that they could make it, but I think that Napoli have a great chance to qualify for the next round. They have to play an important game at home, then the qualification will be decided at Anfield", Petras said to Radio Kiss Kiss.
The agent also commented the Scudetto race, with Napoli trailing Juventus at a 6 point distance: "They wento close to the Scudetto last year, they will go at it again this season. There's still a long season ahead, there are many games to play. Maybe Inter will join the race too, but Napoli will definitely have a go at it. The Scudetto race will be decided in games that don't look decisive at first sight, but they will be fundamental instead. Juventus, despite winning almost every game, have drawn at home agisnt Genoa. This season Napoli have also more option off the bench, that's a positive", concluded Hamsik's agent.
