After becoming a fan favorite at Napoli, Marek Hamsik has won the award as the best Slovak player. The partenopei’s captain spoke to sport.aktuality.sk after receiving the trophy:”I’m happy to have defended my title but I must say young players Milan Skriniar and Stano Lobotka had excellent seasons. We’ll see what happens next year, but I was glad to defend my title
Hamsik was also asked about his relationship with Napoli:”I’ve been at the club eleven years, and in today’s football it’s not natural for a player to last that long in a place. Surpassing Maradona’s record was beautiful for me, I know what he means to Napoli and it was important for me. Winning the title is something we are striving towards, doing so would fulfill one of my dreams. There are many matches left and anything can happen”
