Napoli, Maksimovic: “I love Neapolitan pizza and music. My debut in Champions? Unforgettable”

Eleven minutes passed before the plot twist happened. Albiol fell to the ground in pain, got up and headed toward the bench. Sarri, at that point, nodded and Nikola Maksimovic was ready to make his Napoli debut in the Champions League. No fear, just determination and lots of concentration, because Benfica is never an opponent to be underestimated. "A night to remember, a moment that I will never forget," the Serbian defender told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli. "I'm happy about my performance, the coach knows that I'm ready whenever he needs me. I'm missing a little bit of game rhythm because I've only played a few games in these past few months, but I have to say that my teammates are helping me a lot: for this, I have to thank them. The two goals we gave up? We dominated for 75 minutes, scoring four goals against a team that's hard to shock much like we did. We didn't expect to give up those two goals so quickly; we're very disappointed." In the Serie A, Juventus is number one in the standings, but Maksimovic doesn't seem worried: "We don't think about it just yet, when we meet them at the end of October we can make our assessments. The only thing we should be thinking about now is Atalanta. We will try to win in Bergamo." On his long transfer saga to Napoli, Maksimovic revealed: "For two years Napoli tried to acquire me, and my will has always been clear: to wear the blue shirt, but every time something happened with the transfer. At the end, I finally did it." Finally, the Serbian revealed: "I ate both pizza and spaghetti. They are both very good, and I also like Neapolitan music." @GIANMARCalciO
