The Partenopei captain feels that his side should have been more clinical in their finishing, and should have taken advantage of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s sending off.
A.C Milan and Napoli played a goalless stalemate at the San Siro on Sunday, February 5, 2012.
Napoli skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paolo-Cannavaro-c29080, believes that the Azzurri missed out on a golden opportunity of beating the Italian Champions. The Italian is lamenting his team’s finishing, as they lost a chance of improving their league position, especially when looking
retrospectively all the other league results.
The Partenopei side has not had the same run of form, like last year, which saw them finish in the top three. With time running out for the end of the season, Walter Mazzarri’s side is forced to play catch up in the league.
The Napoli captain has praised the Rossoneri for the character they showed after Ibrahimovic’s sending off. He believes that the Champions proved their real class in defence.
Walter Mazzarri’s side has been inconsistent in the league throughout the season, and Cannavaro believes that a win at San Siro could have proved to be a turning point in their campaign.
While talking to reporters, Cannavaro said,
“However, this game could have been the turning point of our Serie A season; it’s a real shame.”
The former Parma defender admitted to his team’s struggles in the league, but he is hopeful of a strong finish to the season.
“We are finding some difficulties in the championship, but there is still time to recover and charge back up the table.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 have been a shadow of the side they were in the last season, where they finished third in the Serie A. However, they have been extremely impressive in UEFA Champions League, having qualified for the first knockout round in their debut campaign.
The Partenopei side is currently 14 points behind league leaders, Juventus, while Udinese are 10 points clear in the third place.
The Azzurri will face Siena in the first-leg of the semi-final of Coppa Italia in their next game on Thursday, February 9.
