During an interview granted to today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, Marek Hamsik he spoke about his Slovakia, focusing on the technical commissioner Francesco Calzona, who also led Napoli at the end of last season: “I like everything – the former footballer began -. Just everything. He knows how to manage the group very well, he is good at transmitting to the team the concepts that are fundamental for him. He is a great motivator, but above all he is exceptional from a tactical point of view. Calzona is a phenomenon at preparing the match.”
The former Napoli midfielder then analyzed the fact that in the Slovakian national team there is a hard core of players who have played, or still play, in the Italian championship, precious for the growth of the players: Certainly yes, and the choice of the Federation to rely on an Italian coach also helped us. It was an excellent decision, which made us grow. And we are seeing the results.
Final comment on Napoli and whether he would advise Kvaratskhelia to stay: “Of course. Napoli needs champions like him who warm up the fans and win games with a play – he concluded -. And now there’s Conte on the bench, I’m very curious and optimistic”.
